Lilacs Profusion
Every year as the spring and early summer season arrives, I have had the opportunity to watch the Canadian landscape come to life. Along with the birth of many infant animals such as robins, squirrels and rabbits, the Canadian geese also returns to the country. Meanwhile, in terms of flowers and plants, tulips, cherry blossoms and magnolia flowers bloom one after another.
This year, apart from all these flowers, I have also had the chance to observe some lilac flowers enjoy a healthy growing season. Lilac flowers have always been one of my favorite flowers for many reasons. First, lilac flowers come in many different colors such as blue, cream, lavender, magenta, pink, purple, violet and white. Second, these miniature flowers emit a very pleasant and fragrant scent and no doubt it is these fragrant smells that help attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators to these flowers.

A lilac flower in full bloom can be quite an eye-catching sight. Thus, without further ado, here are some of those memorable moments and pictures of lilacs profusion.
