Although in this case, the color is very much purple, and shades of purple in all of its delicate prettiness: It's the lilac we are loving upon, a flower that is now peaking at historic garden.

These plants sprout tubular panicles of pretty purple flowers and they are well-known for their strong fragrance. For a flourishing lilac patch ... purple haven that smells heavenly.

The Rochester, NY Lilac Festival is one of the oldest and largest of its kind in the USA. More than 500,000 are expected to attend this huge event in 2025.
