They can be as short as a couple of feet to almost tree tall.Latino Heritagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184286331105672582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-62930857960869910402012-04-08T09:43:58.452-07:002012-04-08T09:43:58.452-07:00Sorry to post more than once, but the post where I...Sorry to post more than once, but the post where I mentioned it might be lilac has disappeared, which makes my last post look a bit strange.<br /><br />A second look told me the flower clusters were too small for lilacs. <br /><br />But once again, Happy Easter to all...<br />BetsyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-82603252762086845822012-04-08T09:40:51.934-07:002012-04-08T09:40:51.934-07:00Just took another look at your lovely photo.

A special area at Descanso Gardens is devoted to them - and my neighbor has a lovely one next to our driveway that I nursed back to life years ago when a previous neighbor cut it to the ground.

But yes, the butterflies like it, too. <br />I did see a monarch the other day at Hahamongna but couldn't catch it.<br /><br />I'm with you, Susan. I'm happy when I see them, and want to plant things in my yard to interest them. They love the clementine tree, and another unidentified bush we have out back.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-25494574546115396882012-04-08T07:09:35.088-07:002012-04-08T07:09:35.088-07:00Bees are the bomb!
