While the title of this VSN challenge was State Flowers, I chose a flower that I miss from my original home state Pennsylvania. I moved to Florida 42 years ago, but I still miss the wonderful scent of lilacs.

Oh, Lilacs..... there is nothing like the smell of them in the spring! We have a hot tub in our backyard, and I love going in there in the spring when our neighbor's lilacs are blooming. The nice morning breeze blows the scent right through. I just love your card!! The shading around the nesties leaves just enough highlight around the lilacs to really make them pop. Awesome card!

This is just darling. I too miss the smell of lilacs. My Mother and Grandmother always grew them at their houses. They would cut them and bring them in the house and put them in floral arrangements. Their heavenly fragrance would fill the house. We had purple and white ones. Your card is super fantastic. Thanks for sharing the memories!!!

I LOVE lilacs! When I lived in Tennessee I planted a bush in my front yard. Each spring you would find me out there with my face in it!!
Beautiful card Lois!
