Blossom Time

Lilac overlooking the Produce Garden - 6 June 2018

This is the lilac just to the west of the Produce Garden. It has come into bloom much later than other lilacs on the property.

Here are the lilacs on the east side of the Theatre area. This photograph was taken May 25, almost two weeks ago.

Lilacs and Red Chairs - 25 May 2018

We're thinking of setting up a spreadsheet to record when each of the plants bloom at Riel House. As you can see from these lilacs, it is not on the same day. Blooming varies by location which, of course, is influenced by sun and soil conditions.
