Technically, this is a tree (or a bush) but still, it *is* flowering and I like it. image description: a close-up photo of one set of blooms on a lilac tree. The flowers are light purple and the leaves are lush green.I think these are some variety of poppy. They have been growing every spring ever since we moved in over 20 years ago.
