The Fragrance of Syringa ( Lilac) Flowers

Tweet

Reminded me of someone special who is very dear to me, my father. I love the strong sweet scent of lilac. When I was walking with my friend in the woods last week, I came across those beautiful white color flowers. They were looking like the violet flowers in the yard of my friend. One of the vacation houses we passed by, have this flowering shrub in the yard. I couldn´t resist the beauty that I had to stop and enjoyed the fragrant of this flower. I kept on breathing the strong sweet scent of this flower. It reminded me of the Fortune flowers I had in my yard in the Philippines. The smell of this plant reminded me of this flower as my father hated the strong smell of the flower we had at home. Once, I harvested the flowers and put them on my bedroom vase and left them for 2 hours. When I returned to my room to sleep, the scent of my room was heavenly. My father said that my room stunk but it was not for me. After the burial of my father 2 years ago, I was in the boarding room at the airport. Nobody was near me sitting. I was alone going back to Germany. Then I suddenly smelt the sweet scent of the flowers he hated. I was looking around to see who was wearing that perfume. No one was there. It broke my heart because suddenly I thought it was him saying goodbye to me at the airport. The fragrance of the lilac flowers here in Germany smells like the Fortune flowers in the Philippines. Do you have a favorite flower who reminded you of someone you had? Thanks for reading. Have a nice day.
