Lilac in the morning light by Lida Rose.
I love this lilac. All the petals are rimmed in white. It is named "Sensation".

RE: it is quite an experience.
Alex has been working with him..LOL He made a
set: www.flickr.com/photos/59858157@N00/sets/72157 594147530787/\
He can go to the doggie door now. But I don't think he understand what that means. He doesn't know any food. So it is hard to tempt him with doggie treats because he doesn't know what that is..HAHAHA!!! Oh man! Hefty had a Phd, and was very smart.
This one is learning but he is was born Feb. 13, so he is a baby.
He is clueless..He likes to chew on things..He learns fast.
Today I call him: Come and he did a few times on his own.
It is a new experience. I will we are all learning together..
He is vary calm and does not even bark..
He is clueless..LOL!
Thanks for asking!

What more is there to say???? Beautiful, which has already been expressed over and over, so suffice it to say I was here and I stand in awe of the lilac.....a plant I miss so much. We have a few in California,but they don't grow as lushly as elsewhere.
