| Mount Olivet Lilac Drive Thru' |
"All the authorities on the Language of Flowers agree that the purple lilac expresses the First Emotions of Love. As Robert Tyas explained, the lilac's chief beauty lies in its flowers with their rich, heady scent, but these are short-lived and transient, like the first intense pangs of love."
~ Gill Saunders, Victoria & Albert Museum
  "Oh were my Love yon lilac fair..." |
Wi' purple blossoms to the spring,
And I a bird to shelter there,
When wearied on my little wing
~Robbie Burns
