2024 California Lilac Superbloom in San Marcos, California

This is the California lilac superbloom of 2024 at South Lake Park, San Marcos, California. The blooms should last for about 6 weeks, so there should still be time in April 2024 to see this spectacle.

No, these bushes get too big. Luckily many of the hills nearby are covered in California lilac.

Never been able to grow a lilac in fla or Alabama ,wonder if this type would grow??.

I haven't tried growing California lilac myself, but online sources say this doesn't do well if it is watered a lot in summer, which could be a problem in Florida or Alabama. I think it should be doable, this seems like a very tough plant.

On the east coast, lilac bushes have a lot more leaves and bigger blooms. So interesting to see the dryer climate version.

California lilac is not a true lilac, so it is not of the genus Syringa like the true Eastern United States lilac species.

How does it smell?

[@TheMelvinWei]

I didn't really smell much of anything even when I put my nose to the blooms.
