Flowers are part of the most important occasions of life and have a language of their own. There are also beautiful flowers befitting specific occasions like birthdays, funerals, weddings, graduation ceremonies, etc. Some flowers have a religious significance, too.

Lilac: Many count the lilac among their favorite flowers. The bold purple coloring and elegant white outline imbue the flower with a regal look, plus the elongated petals add to the uniqueness of the presentation. Lilacs are among the most carefree spring-flowering shrubs and provide a sweet, haunting fragrance, too! Learn how to plant, grow, and prune your lilacs. Lilacs, said to symbolize the joy of youth and associated with spring's awakening, are hardy, easy to grow, and low-maintenance. Although they can reach heights of 5 to 15 feet (or more), depending on the variety, the ideal lilac shrub produces flowers at eye level—all the better to enjoy their sweet fragrance. In northern states, lilacs bloom for about 2 weeks from mid-to-late spring. However, there are early-, mid-, and late-season lilacs, which, when grown together, ensure a steady bloom for at least 6 weeks.
