Auction Purchase

Oh Wow that is fantastic value AGB - that is like £1.50 here which is nothing at all! That is what I call a great buy! xxx

I love the smell of lilacs, My mom has a few bushes of them in front of her house and when they start to bloom they are just the most wonderful smell.. I wouldn't mind have a few bushes of lilacs around my house... However bee's and things like them... Hers are purple and very very pretty, I do believe some pink ones too I'm not 100% sure..

I love lilacs, they are pretty and they smell so good. My only complaint is they don't last long. Here is a tip to make them last longer once you cut them. Take the stem and lay it on the ground, take a hammer and crush the end of the stem. That lets the flower draw up more water and makes them last longer in the house.

wow! that's a great deal grandpa Bob..I also love to collect more flowers and quite sad that my veggies started to grow up already but none of my flowers. I do not know what's wrong and I am still positive and hope that today or tomorrow they will start to show up!

It must be nice to have a green thumb like you do. My son is the one with the green thumb in my family. He tends to all of our plants, potted and in the flower bed. Ever so often he will make a spot in the back yard and he will plant a few veggies. I have no talent and no green thumb. Those lilac bushes sure will smell good and I agree the blue and deep purple will look so good together.

Hi GRANDPA BOB! Oh that is so kind and thoughtful of your wife's boss! Everyone really knows how much you love gardening and people seem to love giving you plants for they know, with your love and care for plants, they will flourish. I am sure your garden will look magical when all is in full bloom! Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

Blue with purple! Sounds GRReat!

This is Cool. I Love lilacs. They are so pretty, and the smell is wonderful as well. And that is a Great price as well.

oooooo, lilacs my favorite..I have about three bushes and the springtime is my favorite time, the house smells great with those great smelling flowers...

I love the smell of lilacs. I bet they are so pretty. That was nice of him to pick them up for you guys at the auction. I've never been to an auction like that. I have a brown thumb I couldnt raise any type of plant lol.

I love lilacs!! I want to get some but is it too late in the year here in Ohio? Have you heard about B2? It's a mineral or vitamin that I used in Arizona to prevent plants from going into shock when I put them in the ground and it stimulates root growth. I haven't found it here, they probably don't need it with the wonderful soil here, but I'd sure like to have some. Congrats on the lilacs! Your wife's boss must be a really nice guy to think of you.

Hi Grandpa Bob two bushes from one. thats great. a blue lilac oh I would love to see that as I have never seen a blue one and that sounds lovely too. we had the usual purpleones and a white one too oh and a light pink one back on the farm. I wonder if real lilacs would do well here in California. we havesomthing called a california 'lilac but its a far cry from a real lilac and has no scent at all. I loved our big lilacs as a child and my mom always had vases full of lilacs aroound our house. They smelled so good almost as good as the honeysuckle vines along our porch. Now all I have are memories.

I Love Lilacs!..my Mom grows them in california and always sends me flowers for me since she knows i love them..this year she sent me some shoots and I've left them in the water and just this morning planted them in a pot..i hope they make it since its so hot here...they will be babied to at least get a bush out of this. We will see! Cheap plants are the best!
