it is about 4yrs. old, it doesn%26#039;t get much sun, is that why?
My lilac bush never blooms?
The comments everyone made here are good and valid, particularly about giving it sun....however, I do have two lilacs in the shade and I have had better luck with them blooming than the ones in the sun -- and they are younger trees.
While you can move it, bear in mind it will then take another year or two before it blooms, as you will stress the tree, damage roots, and have to prune anyway after moving.
The deer do a lot of my pruning, so if this might be your problem, put some deer netting around it, or barring that, hang some old CDs and sprinkle the tree with cayenne pepper on a regular basis.
Lilacs should be fed in spring, and should have well-drained soil. So, when you feed next spring (and don%26#039;t be surprised to find your first bloom), work the food into the ground with a claw or pitchfork from the perimeter of branches toward trunk.
And then, there are just going to be those years where factors were poor for budding to take place, or the buds die and fall off.
Reply:Do you prune your lilac? Shortly after the shrub flowers it sets the new flower buds for the next year. If you prune it at all after spring when they flower you are cutting off all flower buds for the next year. Hope this helps, good luck
Reply:Lilacs like partial shade to full sun. Mine are under the full trees, but get 1/2 day of sun. They are profuse bloomers in the Spring. You can move it.

Reply:What part of the country do you live in, lilacs have to freeze to be able to bloom...that%26#039;s the only thing I can think of.

Do lilac bushes normally bloom more than once per season?
My one bush bloomed like normal in May and now it is blooming again in July-very weird. I thought they only bloomed once per year??
Do lilac bushes normally bloom more than once per season?
From a gardening column of the Times Herald-Record
%26quot;Most of us are familiar with the lilacs that bloom only once in the spring.
While not as common, there are varieties that bloom twice a season. Most of these varieties are also dwarf, only growing 3 to 6 feet in height and width.
Here are some of the varieties that flower twice a year.
- Josee lilac blooms profusely each spring and, with deadheading, continues to bloom all summer.
- Fairy Dust lilac blooms twice each year, once in late spring and again in late summer.
- Prince Charming lilac blooms in late spring and again in fall.
Some of the varieties don%26#039;t always bloom as reliably as they may say, but some varieties are true repeat bloomers, as you already know.
Record Online is brought to you by the Times Herald-Record, serving New York%26#039;s Hudson Valley and the Catskills.%26quot;
Have to admit that it is a new one on me, but I%26#039;m delighted to hear about it. Will have to remember it when I get my new lilacs. I love them!
Reply:NO THEY DONT BUT IF YOU TACE THE HEADS AND PUT IT IN BOLING WATER THEN LET COOL IT WILL MAKE THE WATER SMELL LIKE IT THEN WHEN YOU TAKE ABATH PUT IT IN THE TUB WATER, YOU WILL SMELL BEAUTIFUL
Reply:i think it is because we all got a warm front and then a cold one after then it got hot again. I had the same thing. But they only should bloom once per year yes
Reply:i thought so too ...
Reply:They usually do. Count yourself lucky.

Lavender/ Lilac wedding?
i am having a summer wedding. the colors will be lavender %26amp; white does anyone have any ideas on decorations %26amp; were i can get cheap bridesmaid dresses? we need ideas for church decor %26amp; reception decor
Lavender/ Lilac wedding?
If you have a lot of money to spend the possibilites are Endless but if you don%26#039;t you can make lots of things yourself:
You can get cheap things from the dollar store and From a craft store like Micheal%26#039;s or any Crafty type store
Ceremony Entrance Decorations:
-Place the guest book, signing pen and beautiful fresh flowers or -topiaries on a small table.
-Put a large framed engagement picture or other picture of the two of you on an easel. Guests can sign the matting instead of a guest book.
-Have guests sign a wedding scroll rather then a guest book.
-Are you getting married at Christmas time? Instead of a guest book, ask your guests to sign a Christmas tree skirt.
-Rent torches to place at the entrance. This idea is best for outdoor weddings held in the evening and adds wonderful drama.
-Decorate tree branches with small white lights (best for evenings).
-If you have steps leading up to the site, place inexpensive pots of flowers to the sides of each (or every other) step.
If you are using a theme, find a large item that fits with your theme to place at the entrance. This gives your guests an idea of what%26#039;s ahead.
-Have your immediate family (who are not in the wedding party) stand at the entrance and welcome each guest as they enter.
Place potted trees (real or silk) on either side of the entrance. Decorate each one with small white lights. Some nusuries will rent plants to you.
-Make colorful wedding programs explaining what will take place during your wedding ceremony. Present them to guests as they arrive or fan them out on a table. You may also include things like words of thanks, bridal party participants, love poems, a story of how the two of you met, and pictures, etc. A map to the reception site may also be included.
-Decorate any banisters, railings or columns with ivy garlands, swags of flowers, tulle and/or white lights.
Two large clusters of colorful balloons will also create a striking entrance. These clusters can be placed into large potted plants or set in any corner. Tie a 6 - 8 foot length of curling ribbon to helium-filled balloons. Gather several balloons together %26amp; tie to a can of food. Cover the can of food with fabric %26amp; add a colorful bow
Here%26#039;s a LINK for how to make the bows yourself :
http://www.geocities.com/imwenders/Y/Exa...
Reception Table Decorations %26amp; Centerpieces
Reception Centerpiece Ideas:
-Pretty bowls of fragrant potpourri.
-Eatable centerpieces! Instead of a buffet table, arrange colorful foods on platters and place at the center of the tables. Incorporate flowers or greenery amongst the food.
Place a balloon cluster at the center of each table. Make sure it%26#039;s high enough so guests can still see each other.
When in doubt, a beautiful vase of flowers (real or silk) will do the trick.
Suspend groupings of paper bells from the ceiling directly over each table. Again, position them just high enough for guests to see one another, but low enough so they appear to be part of the table decorations.
Purchase straw hats, or cowboy hats and fill with flowers.
Take 1.5-foot wide flat terracotta pots and place one in the center of each table. Fill the pots with green moss and put a variety of white or ivory pillar candles into the moss. Use 8-10 flower heads for decoration around the base of the candles. This idea is stunning for an evening or garden wedding.
If you have long rectangular tables for your reception, place bows of evergreens, green foliage, rose petals, or votive cups down the centers of the tables. Work in a few pretty flowers or ribbon here and there.
Purchase large bowls made of clear plastic or glass. Place one bowl at each table and surround it with flowers. Fill each bowl with water and put in three to five floating candles. Light them just before the reception begins.
Take 40 inch wide bolts of white or colorful tulle and gather it down the center of each rectangular table. Nestle votive candles in glass holders at various locations in the tulle. Make sure the tulle does not contact the flame.
Place 1 or 2 gallon fish bowls on small-framed mirrors or mirror tiles. Fill with water and add live fish or shells. This one is great for a nautical theme wedding.
A large bowl of fresh fruit and flowers is simple and elegant.
Rent large candelabras with pillar candles for the center of each table. Some can be very formal and hold flowers amongst the candles. Check with your florist and rental shop to discuss these options.
Freestanding topiaries make wonderful centerpieces by adding height and drama. Decorate them with flowers, fruits, ivy or ribbons.
Use a wicker basket as the centerpiece. Fill with raffia or other filler material and place your wedding favors on top. Decorate the basket with ribbon or flowers in your wedding colors or use white ribbons and let colorful favors take center stage.
Balloons can be incorporated into a variety of flower arrangements or unique centerpieces. Check with your florist.
Add white taper candles to your floral centerpieces.
Buy rolls of pretty metallic wrapping paper and bows in your wedding colors and wrap some empty boxes (Wedding or Christmas paper). These make very inexpensive centerpieces in any size and color you like.
Borrow cowboy boots or buy from a thrift store. Fill them with flowers and use them as centerpieces.
Place 3 large pillar candles of the same width but different heights onto a framed mirror. Put flowers or shells around the bases of the candles. The mirror will reflect the centerpiece and make it appear twice as large.
Hang large ornaments from the ceiling with ribbon or fishing line. Tie a bow at the top of each ornament. Hang in a staggered pattern directly above the tables.
General Ideas:
Beautifully folded and pressed napkins add an elegant touch to the table. Milliken.com shows you how to create many popular designs and gives you a handy guide to table setting.
Make or purchase napkin rings to match the formality of your event. Wrap a single silk rose around a napkin or use small cookie cutters or decorative beads as the ring. The ideas are endless
Place a small vase with a single rose at each place setting. Give them as favors.
Cover reception tables with white or colored butcher paper then lay inexpensive curtain lace over the top.
Wedding favors add that final touch to your tables and can be created in endless shapes, colors and themes. A simple, yet elegant, favor is to take 5 sugared Jordan Almonds and wrap them in tulle circles. Tie with a beautiful ribbon and put one at each place setting.
Skirt your tables to the floor for an elegant effect. Rented white or ivory table linens work best and show off the table accessories and centerpieces.
Place small bowls of colorful chocolate, hard candies or mints on each table.
Decorate picnic tables with red checked tablecloths and baskets of blossoms (sunflowers work well). Use hay bales for seating.
Picture frame place card holders are popular, functional and can be given as wedding favors.
Place card holders can also be as simple as a pear or apple slit to hold the place card. Decorate each one with ribbon or natural materials. This idea is great for outdoor garden-themed weddings.
Tips for Choosing your Wedding Decorations:
Wedding ceremonies and receptions take place just about anywhere including boats, mansions, marinas, gardens, restaurants, scenic locations, and churches. Each area provides ample opportunities for setting the scene and creating a mood with elegant wedding decorations.
First, ask yourselves what style and mood do you both want for your wedding day. Are you casual, sophisticated or romantic? You may decide you want a traditional evening wedding ceremony with lots of candles and flowers, or you may decide on a contemporary setting with silver and white balloons and an ice sculpture.
Second, it is important to know your budget. This gives you an idea of how many decorations you can reasonably incorporate into your wedding. Remember that careful planning is necessary to avoid costly mistakes. If budget is an issue, choose only two or three wedding decorations or decorating ideas that really add visual impact.
Consider these items when choosing and creating your wedding decorations:
• Color Scheme
• Available Space
• No. of Guests • Mood/Theme
• Time of Year
• Time of Day • Location/Setting
• Family Traditions
• Budget
Consider decorations for these areas:
• Altar/Pews
• Flowers
• Gift/Cake Tables
• Favors
• Bathrooms • Guestbook/Pen
• Food/Cake
• Centerpieces
• Guestbook
• Getaway Vehicle • Chair Backs
• Walls/Doors
• Banisters
• Accessories
• Ceilings/Floors
Keep in mind that locations that are already very festive or decorative may require less, or even no wedding decorations at all! To save money, have friends or relatives transport your ceremony decorations such as flowers, pew bows, or candelabras to your reception site.
With a little imagination, you%26#039;ll be amazed at how easy and affordable it is to create a unique day that you and your guests will remember for a lifetime.
CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES I hope that helps!!

Reply:Round centerpices are very much in style, try using purple hydrangeas, they are very affordable and when grouped together make a very beutiful statement. Keep in mind white flowers have the tendancey to wilt so you may want to use those in moderation.
For the church keep it classy and simple. Hang from each pew a flower %26quot;ball%26quot; if they allow candle just put a simple white pillar candle in a huricanne shade at the base of each pew.

Is lilac and mauve a good colour for a wedding?
those are the color that everyone get, get something else. what about blue white and silver
Reply:Yes they are especially if they are in pastel colours but they don%26#039;t have to be pastels. I%26#039;ve seen it work very well here in the US and I think that the US and the UK are the same in that department.
Reply:I think so.
Reply:It all depends on how it looks on your bridesmaids.
Reply:Yes I do believe they would be a good color for wedding. But on the other hand I love those colors and I%26#039;m not a wedding expert. If I attended a wedding with those colors I would think it was very pretty.

Reply:Lilac %26amp; mauve? Isn%26#039;t that like having Blush %26amp; Bashful (a la Steel Magnolias)? Aren%26#039;t they slightly different shades of pale purple? It depends on your bridesmaids.

Reply:Lilac %26amp; mauve? Isn%26#039;t that like having Blush %26amp; Bashful (a la Steel Magnolias)? Aren%26#039;t they slightly different shades of pale purple? It depends on your bridesmaids. Pale purple doesn%26#039;t look good on everyone unfortunately. Some people look like a corpse in it but whatever the bride wants, the bride gets.
Reply:It must be, a lot of weddings have those colors.

My lilac tree is dying - should I cut it down when winter is over?
Right now remove 1/3 of the oldest canes to the ground and give the tree a nutrient balanced fertilizer. You may be able to save it. Good luck!
My lilac tree is dying - should I cut it down when winter is over?
in australia as well my lilac tree started to die back so i trimed al old branches of then gave it a good feed of seasol and have been watering it every 3/4 days from the last 8to 10 weeks its picking up well i thing its been to dry and hot the last couple off years trim back and water well hope it picks up
Reply:Lilacs live a very long time. What it the problem with this one? They need a winter to rest up. Maybe you don%26#039;t have the right cultural requirements there and you should get rid of it. Lilacs will grow back from the roots readily though. It may take some time to be truly rid of it.
Reply:may not be dying might need pruning back scratch a place on a limb to see if its still green keep scratching till you find a place where the plant is still alive and thats where it should be pruned back to from a nursery woman in tennessee

How can I make a "lilac" or close to lilac colored cocktail drink that still tastes good.?
Try 2 ounces Blue Curacao, and 1 ounce black sambuca. That should be very close to the proper colour, and would still taste great.
How can I make a %26quot;lilac%26quot; or close to lilac colored cocktail drink that still tastes good.?
Hypnotic with a dash of cranberry juice, or blue curaco with cranberry splash in it - both would make your color of choice and taste good too.
Reply:Purple Cool Aid
Curacao, blue 1 1/2 shot
Vodka 1 1/2 shot
7-up 1 dash
Cranberry Juice 3 shots
play around with the 7-up or sierra mist and cranberry juice, the more 7-up, the lighter the purple, etc.
Reply:Parfait Amour liquor by Bols
some vodka / gin
soda water/tonic
mix them and you will get a lovely soft lilac colour, with the sweet taste of Parfait Amour.
Reply:just make your cocktail as normail and then add some food colouring but not too much !! ok
Reply:something with red fruit juice and milk in it
or something with red and blue such as red and blue WKD.
if you get some strawberry milk and add vodka, that is nice but that is more pink than anything.
mix around with the quantities until the colour looks right.

How hard can you prune back a lilac, that is over 3m tall?
lilacs,( S. vulgaris) were neglected for a few years, and are over 3 meters in height, and extremely misshappened. Can they be prunned back hard ( e.g., sawed off at 4-5 above ground), and expected to grow back next season?
How hard can you prune back a lilac, that is over 3m tall?
Yes and no... you can radically prune lilacs and they can grow back with a little babying, but they will not grow back in a year. It took at least 20-30 years for them to get as tall as they are now.
Just cut the suckers off near the base for now, along with any obviously dead wood. Next spring *gently* prune after the blooms have faded. Then re-evaluate how much pruning still needs to be done.
Reply:Yes you can prune it back.. just cut back so that it is the shape and height that you want it and it should bloom better than ever for you the following year. I do mine all the time don%26#039;t want them to high.. or too wide.
good luck they should smell beautiful next year.
best to cut with pruners so you don%26#039;t hurt the branches..want clean cuts.
don%26#039;t use saw
Reply:I would recommend to prune just to shape it. I don%26#039;t think it would like to be pruned that hard. If you keep it to just trimming a little, you may see some flowers next spring, but you should%26#039;ve done this right after the blooming time.

Lilac Burmese Cat in trouble.?
Hi my name is Eric, about 2 months or so ago my cat Stuey, was starting to lose his balance, then he started going really skinny in his lowerback/back legs. He then got to a point where he could not walk/support himself. His mobility was 0. I had to carry him everywhere. So i took him to the vet the vet and they had no clue what so-ever. so they gave him a pain killer injection, and some pain killer drops for him aswell, he got better, slighlty anyway. i mean he was running around, jumping on lounge. But when i got home today, he was sitting on the floor. And i called him, and he just meowed at me. so i picked him up and tried to stand him up. He just fell, so ive taken him to the vet. and he said that he thinks its a spine/neurological problem. and that the best bet is to put him down, i do not want to do this. im willing to try anything. please respond with any ideas/past expirences.
Kind Regards,
Eric.
Lilac Burmese Cat in trouble.?
It sounds like he may have injured his back in the past and has disk material pressing on his spine.
A cure is now unlikely due to the length of time since the injury, but if you don%26#039;t want to put the cat down, consider a mobility trolley. I%26#039;m sure you%26#039;ve seen them, they support the animal%26#039;s back end and two wheels replace the hind legs, with the legs suspended in slings. Both cats and dogs do very well in them once they adjust.
Reply:I would get a second opinion from another vet. The vet you%26#039;ve seen sounds pretty hopeless from what you say. There may be nothing that can be done, but you could do with seeing a vet who is a bit more proactive in trying to find a diagnosis.
Reply:unfortunately it sounds like exactly what your vet says. you could try the little kitty wheelchair but that is a bit more practical in dogs. realize that he may (if he hasnt already) lose control of his bodily functions and start using the bathroom on himself and that means everywhere in your home. it wouldnt hurt to get another opinion but i doubt you will hear anything really all that different. i%26#039;m sorry to have to be so discouraging but i would want someone to be as honest with me. i am so sorry you have to go through this and i hope a second opinion helps you out
Reply:I would absolutely go to a specialist, is their a vet university near you? Check the phone book etc. But if you can%26#039;t find one find another vet for a second opinion your vet just covered up the problem and didn%26#039;t agressively do anything. Bad Vet!! It does sound like a never problem. I know a few people who have had that with their cats and acupunture helped them when nothing else could. YOu might consider that if it comes to %26quot; nothing we can do%26quot; I know the pet trollies would very well from what I have read.
Are their any other symptoms, eating lots and lots of food and still losing weight, drinking tons of water and peeing to flood the litter box? If so it could be diabetes and neuropathy. Did your vet check for diabetes? If it turns out that is it contact me and I will help you and show you a great group for dads and moms of diabetic cats and help with the neuropathy also. That is Methyl B 12 that you can find in health food stores. With him being so bad give him 9 mg a day. Anything the cat can not use will go out in urine. A B12 pill or shot is not the same. It must be METHYL B12.
You could begin that now as it is not only for diabetic cats with neuropathy. It helps all kinds of neuropathy.
Let me know what happens. I just feel that there is something that can help. Do go to a different vet now. Cyber hugs to your boy.

Reply:no kidding? are you serious?!
Reply:Sorry, I%26#039;m not into the hippy name.
However, if you used Juniper or Lilac with a normal name for a middle name, that would be just fine. Many Pagans have named their children after trees. I see no problem with that. But combined with the middle names you have listed, it sounds silly.
I do love Tuesday Rose. Nico is a boy%26#039;s name, so that is out, IMHO.
BTW, if you don%26#039;t want opinions that are different from your own, then you shouldn%26#039;t ask for opinions.
Reply:Juniper Moon! I love Juniper.
Reply:I would ignore the criticisms. These are great names.
I actually like the combination of a more %26quot;traditional%26quot; (but no overly used) name and a more %26quot;unique%26quot; middle name. I have a similar combination and I%26#039;ve gone back and forth throughout my life. Lilac and Juniper are unique enough, but not so out there that it could become a source of irritation. %26quot;hippie%26quot; middle names are fun (and often have spiritual significance) but can be kept private if desired.
I don%26#039;t know why people think these names are destined to cause so many problems.
%26quot;Lilac%26quot; is actually a very old traditional name. %26quot;Juniper%26quot; isn%26#039;t that rare these days and can be shortened to %26quot;June%26quot; should the child ever feel they need a more %26quot;acceptable%26quot; name.
Edit: I would advise against Nico Caillou. It sounds a lot like %26quot;Nico Claux%26quot;, the famous French murderer and cannibal. Nico with a different middle name might work better.
Reply:Either way the child will probably have to grow a thick layer of skin to get through school no matter what you choose. Just remember, the child has to live with the name and kids these days can be harsh...just look at some of the responses here...your child may have to live that everyday of his or her life.

Juniper could have the nickname Juno and Tuesday just sounds sharp... kind of reminds me of the Addams family with Wednesday, very cool.

I have a similar combination and I%26#039;ve gone back and forth throughout my life. Lilac and Juniper are unique enough, but not so out there that it could become a source of irritation. %26quot;hippie%26quot; middle names are fun (and often have spiritual significance) but can be kept private if desired.
I don%26#039;t know why people think these names are destined to cause so many problems.
%26quot;Lilac%26quot; is actually a very old traditional name. %26quot;Juniper%26quot; isn%26#039;t that rare these days and can be shortened to %26quot;June%26quot; should the child ever feel they need a more %26quot;acceptable%26quot; name.
Edit: I would advise against Nico Caillou. It sounds a lot like %26quot;Nico Claux%26quot;, the famous French murderer and cannibal. Nico with a different middle name might work better.
Reply:Either way the child will probably have to grow a thick layer of skin to get through school no matter what you choose. Just remember, the child has to live with the name and kids these days can be harsh...just look at some of the responses here...your child may have to live that everyday of his or her life.
Reply:think about what other will call her when she gets into high school...or when she gets into the job market..what might be cute to a parent...might not be cute when the child grows up...

Reply:no, not for real is it?
Ella - your eyes look really sad - I hope you do not feel that sad really.
Reply:I kinda think they sound like the names of body washes or scented candles.
Reply:You goddamned hippie :)
I like Juniper, its nice and can be shortened to June. Although...Liliacs are my favorite tree. No, No...Juniper.
Reply:Neither. They sound like hippie names, no offense.
I also agree with %26quot;Addie%26quot; they do sound like air fresheners.
ADD: How about Birch Tree Green Grass? Or, Blueberry Bush? Maybe even Geranium Dew?.... or Elmo twig Goddess?
Reply:I like Juniper Moon and Tuesday Rose.
Juniper could have the nickname Juno and Tuesday just sounds sharp... kind of reminds me of the Addams family with Wednesday, very cool.
Reply:They kind of sound like they would be scents for air fresheners (no offense intended) Maybe Lily Rayne yould be a little better. Srry.
Reply:If I HAD to pick, I%26#039;d say Lilac. But they both sound a little hippy dippy. How about Lily? It%26#039;s more feminine in my opinion, and it%26#039;s still a plant! :)
My sister is like you! She cracks me up. One time she mentioned she could name a baby boy Sage. Why not Thyme or Oregano...
Reply:That%26#039;s just sad... Poor kid.
Reply:If i had to choose, Lilac Rain
