Secret Garden Lilacs
'President Lincoln' & 'Peerless Pink'

The BrideThe Bride is one of the Skinner lilacs in my collection. This lilac was purchased at the International Lilac Convention's auction. I hope to add more Skinner lilacs in the future. My favorite Skinner lilac has to be Excel. Pictures of it are posted earlier on this blog. Second choice would have to be Maidens Blush. This lilac never fails to perform here in my garden.



Maiden's Blush

Frank Skinner developed these lilacs in the harsh Canadian climate of Manitoba. They are perfect for my garden in the Canadian Rockies although they do require a site with a bit of protection from the winter winds off the Fraser River.
