... if you're thinking of planting [lilacs], you'll want to consult this comprehensive new book ..., With her latest book, Georgiana Lane has created a stunning homage to the flower .... Her photography offers an immersive experience of this springtime flower, wonderfully complimented by text from gardening writer Naomi Slade. A wonderful way to celebrate these fleeting flowers all year long., ... a jaw-dropping piece of literature due to Slade's elegant and informative language, as well as Lane's incredible photography. This book would be perfect for anyone seeking to learn more about the history of lilacs, the differences in each variety, and how to care for them in the garden. I would highly recommend this book to any gardener (beginner or otherwise) and anyone who loves gorgeous flowers!

Synopsis
Loved and lauded by all, lilacs are back in vogue. Whether gathered in lavish armfuls for the house, grown as a specimen tree, or as part of a hedge or collection, they are an essential part of the spring season - fleeting, fabulous, and instantly recognizable. From the delightful blues of President Lincoln to the soft blush of Beauty of Moscow, rich purple Congo, and fresh Jeanne d'Arc, these are flowers that will bring drama and sophistication to both home and garden. Illustrated with bespoke images by leading floral photographer Georgianna Lane and with lively, engaging text from well-known garden expert Naomi Slade, Lilacs traces the history of a plant that has conquered the world, combining a visual feast with practical tips for growing and enjoying the lavish blooms at home. Book jacket., Gorgeous bouquets in shades of purple, lavender, blue, white, and pink flood your memory with the heady scent of grandmother's garden. This seventh book in the Gibbs Smith flower series is filled with the perfume of love and memories of home. Lilacs are frequently associated with the Easter holiday, which occurs during the peak of its bloom time. Lilacs have been a source of inspiration for artists throughout history; Impressionists Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet both made famous paintings depicting the beauty of lilacs. Lilacs are ubiquitous both within curated gardens and in the wild. They became a popular garden flower choice in the eighteenth century, particularly across North America, and lingering shrubs and blooms in the wild are a telltale indication of where earlier dwellings might have stood. Naomi Slade's Inspirational commentary with no-fuss gardening notes shows that anyone can grow lilacs in a garden, container, or pot. Georgianna Lane's exquisite photos feature more than 60 varieties--from Common Lilac Syringa, or French Lilac 'Romance' to Madame Lemoine, and many more. Colors range from purple, pink, and burgundy to white and yellow., This seventh book in the Gibbs Smith flower series is filled with the perfume of love and memories of home.
