I wonder what would happen if you planted that species in the woods? Like in Pennsylvania....would it be able to compete with other species? Would it grow tall and straight like other forest trees?

Theresa, SJN identified the assassin bugs for me last year. I had only a small grouping just like in the picture I posted yesterday and then they were gone the next day. I havn't checked to see if these are still there today but I'm betting not. Anyway, she said that they eat the good bugs and the bad bugs so I just leave them alone. And there are so few of them that I don't think they could do much harm. Daniella, if you can wait until cutting time I'll have P&C's and Maya for you. Karyn, where is your tree frog?

Thanks everybody! Yes, lilacs smell good. I don't know who planted them, they've been here for years. All except these two are very plain, these though I like the best, well because one is white and the lilac colored is double. Nancy, I've never even heard of lilac tree :) Linda, but we can't grow.. for example gardenias and I'd love to smell those. Ngraham, you prolly know it, but I heard you are supposed to cut lilac's spent blooms and that'll help next year blooming. I try to do it every year, they do look better than those I don't trim. I also learned something else about Photobucket. I uploaded a couple pictures yesterday then created an album and uploaded more there. But PB put some in that album and some - elsewhere. So when you post your pictures here and then move them from album to album they disappear from here! Sorry I compare with Webshots again, but there you could move all you want, and the the images you posted remained

Curious what kind of phone you have? So many uploaded pix here @ G'web are sideways, I'm wondering if it depends on a certain type of phone or just phone pix in general....?
