Lilac bush
Over the course of decades, the naturalized Syringa vulgaris shrub may produce a small clonal thicket. The Latin term vulgaris indicates something common, frequent, and prevalent. In perception of the actual, sensations integrate a corresponding belief in associative qualities, belonging to external objects.
“The smell of moist earth and lilacs hung in the air like wisps of the past and hints of the future.” – Margaret Millar
