Your lilacs are purple like they should be. I have concluded, looking back through many years of my lilacs, it that they really ARE pink because they have been pink as long as I have pictures of them.

Lilacs come in a variety of colors such as: purple to lilac, magenta, pink, or white

But I was sure at some point they were purple. Maybe they were someone else’s lilacs.

Are non-photo images allowed? Here is a photo painting. The original photo is mine and the “cafe art” was done by me. If this is inappropriate, please delete my comment.

You can post artwork or anything that has a flower on it. What I meant by a photo, you take of photo of the flower no matter what the art form is.

They really don’t do well here. We are too wet and usually not enough sun. Some people do grow them, but when I lived in Colorado the weather was better suited for them, so the lilac out here looks wimpy to me 😀

Perfect purple lilacs, Cee! I bet they smell amazing. My neighbor has a huge bush in which she gave me some clippings that are growing nicely. Here is my purple post today: https://secondwindleisure.com/2023/05/14/sunday-stills-monthly-color-challenge-in-a-purple-haze/
