I cut a couple panicles from one of my early-blooming lilacs to bring in this afternoon

I haven't had a lilac for about 40 years and I still miss it every spring.

I remember you took the precaution of covering your lilacs. We had a frost advisory but there was none in my backyard Friday morning.
Thanks and you're welcome!
