My lilac didnāt get the memo that itās October.
The TOP of one of my lilac bushes has small blooms at the very top!
Ummm⦠isnāt this supposed to happen in May?!
Apparently lilacs can occasionally bloom again in the fall, especially after stressful growing conditions - which we have DEFINITELY have had. So after the heat, humidity and CRAZY amount of rain weāve had this year, I guess my lilac decided October needed a little color. š
Iām enjoying it while it lasts, even though it may mean fewer blooms next spring.
Anyone else experiencing any weird āwhat season is it?ā behavior in their gardens this year?
