It's late August and I have one lilac bush in my windbreak I noticed last night that has some blooms on it. Granted these are not lucious spring blooms, but rather stubby blooms, kind of like a a genetic mutation bloom? The blooms appear to be from buds that should have been dormant until next spring, maybe but they got ahead of themselves? Unless this bush is just one of those that bloom twice a year and we got lucky, mixed in with the commoners... Anyway, I had to share. I think it's cool. These are lilacs we got from the Conservation District so they started out as a teeny tiny stick.
