Lilac

Lilacs are flowering woody plants in the olive family, Syringa. They are native to southeastern Europe and eastern Asia, but they are also cultivated in temperate areas around the world. Lilac flowers are usually pale lavender, but they can also be darker or white. Lilacs are a lighter shade of purple and a light violet color. Lilac flowers typically have four petals. But some lilacs were found with five petals. They are larger, rounder, and lighter green than leaf buds, which are smaller and more pointed. Lilac flowers have a tubular base and are arranged in clusters at branch tips. They are usually lilac to mauve, but they can also be white.
