Isn't that bad sportsmanship? Does that even exist anymore?

My grandfather took my sister and I to Disney World when I was about 12. We stayed in Kissimmee. The locals say that at night, it is known as Kiss-a-me. I remember being told this.

I can't wait for Lilac season. I love the smell of lilacs. Not an easy fragrance to find, either.
There are some in NY.

Aside from Roses, there is no flower as beautiful and aromatic as
Lilacs. Of the two, Lilacs have a stronger scent that carries quite a distance.
Unfortunately, Lilacs bloom for only a very brief couple weeks in the spring. To
prolong their presence in your yard, grow a variety of Lilacs, including, early,
mid and late varieties. With variety and luck, you may be able to see Lilacs in
bloom in your yard for up to six weeks. Weather will have a lot to do with how
long your blooms last. Once the buds begin to open, pray for a cool dry spell.
Once the blooms are over, you still have a nice shade bush, but you have to wait
for up to fifty more weeks to see them again.

Lilacs in the United States date back to the mid 1750's. They were grown in
America's first botanical gardens and were popular in New England. Both George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew them in their gardens. Lilac bushes can
live for hundreds of years. A lilac bush planted at that time, may still be
around. Lilacs originated from Europe and Asia, with the majority of natural
varieties coming from Asia. In Europe, lilacs came from the Balkans, France and
Turkey.

Where is the Lilac Capital of the World? Many areas grow
them and many have a wide variety in large numbers. But Rochester, N.Y.
undoubtedly is the Lilac Capital of the World. It's love for Lilacs dates back
to 1892 when Highland Park horticulturalist John Dunbar planted 20 varieties on
the sunny southern slopes of the park. Highland Park in Rochester is the scene
of an annual, two week long Lilac Festival ,with over a half a million people
attending the event each year. This park has over 500 varieties of lilacs and
more than 1200 lilac bushes in the parks' 155 acres. They hold a huge, annual

I do miss lilacs and especially the smell. They need that 'freeze' in the winter and I just don't see them anymore here.
As a kid,I used to pick them to keep big vases of them in the house....nature's room freshner.

Right now I would settle for dandelions. I'm sick of winter.
