old-fashioned lilac

Old-fashioned Lilac (Syringa vulgaris)  Native to Europe and Asia. Frequently escaped into the wild.
A signature species planted on old farmsteads. Who would not enjoy its unique fragrance on a spring evening
after a long day preparing the corn and soybean fields? Flower purple before opening, then becoming
pale lavender.
