This begins an amazing growth spurt as flowers reach 8 or 9 feet in a short time. |

We have to treat the plants with systemic insecticide to prevent the pests, which are quite nasty. We try to apply the poison after the flowers are off since hummingbirds do come to this plant. |

Garden photo courtesy of LynneThis is a detail of the Sophora plant - the "grape soda" plant becuase the strong fragrance is of artificial grape flavoring. This flowers around Mid-late March. |

Garden photo courtesy of LynneIn mid-late March, my struggling lilac bush had 4 blossoms. The was taken the week of Easter, 2008 in SOuthern Nevada. My bush does well in the Spring. Then it dries up and, I think, goes dormant in the hot summer. In the Fall it puts out leaves again, sometimes with bits of flower, and then drops leaves in late Fall or early winter. It starts to grow in February, and flowers in March. There may not be many blossoms, but the smell like heaven to someone from New York! |
