I’ve just picked these fabulous lilac flowers. Lilac is an essential in the garden at this time of year, their spires of blooms look so majestic and the fresh jasmine like scent drifts through the air. The rest of the year it’s an insignificant dull shrub, but it really is worth it for the flowers in Spring.
Lilac flowers can wilt when cut and placed in a vase. To help prevent this, cut slits into their woody stems at the bottom, this helps the flow of water, keeping the flower fresh.
And steep in spouse’s favourite tipple?
The spouse never leaves any tipple to steep it in!
That’s it out with Monty in with Jo! Very very good.
