Lilacs

Lilacs, originally uploaded by andiwolfe.

I have several old lilac bushes lining the driveway at my house. I really need to cut them back this year after flowering has finished. I love the scent that flows off these blooms. I usually get a good whiff as I walk from the garage to the back gate when I get home from work. These offer a natural pick-me-up - especially after a particularly challenging day in the lab or classroom.
