Today’s Featured Flower Photo of the Day:
Japanese Lilac Tree

Here is today’s featured photo flower presentation. To let 2024 shine bright, I am featuring fine photos of flowers, continuing to honor the brighter side of life again this year. Today’s Flower of the day is the Japanese Lilac Tree.

The Japanese Lilac Tree, or the Syringa Reticulata is larger in size compared to the shrub lilacs and it blooms slightly later.

Syringa reticulata, also known as the Japanese Tree Lilac, can be either a shrub or a small tree with a rounded crown. During early summer, the tree is adorned with numerous clusters of musky-scented, tiny creamy-white flowers that can be 6-12 inches long. These beautiful blossoms last for approximately two weeks. As the flowers fade, they are replaced by loose clusters of tan capsules that remain on the tree throughout the winter months. The erect branches of the Japanese Tree Lilac are covered in lanceolate to ovate, dark green leaves that have a sharp tip. These leaves maintain their attractiveness during the summer season. Additionally, the tree features a lustrous, reddish-brown bark that exfoliates and has horizontal lenticels, resembling cherry bark. The Japanese Tree Lilac is highly resistant to mildew and scale, making it an ideal choice for cool summer climates. However, it is not recommended for planting in the southern states. This tree can be a charming addition to a small landscape or can be grown as a large shrub. …
