I was so excited to discover that lilacs grow in Alaska this summer. I had been taking a little lunch time stroll, when I noticed some rather short bushes with purple blooms on them. The lilacs I am used to (in Wisconsin) tend to be rather tall and wide, while these were more short and hedge-like. They looked suspicious though, so I walked on over. And soon enough I could smell the amazing lilac scent on the breeze, and I realized that I was in luck!
They seem to bloom a little bit later in the year here; it was nearly the end of June when I discovered them. I've always been a huge lilac fan, so it's nice to know that I'll get to look forward to them once a year here.
