Beautiful lilac but the highlight is seeing our kitty Dexter, Russell’s predecessor (for those of you who never met Dexter). Dexter came with the house 😉. Great job with the before and after. Hope you do that more often. Happy Mother’s Day Laura!
Oh, what a great memory of Dexter, he was such a great kitty. I'm glad you have Russell, he is such a unique kitty, love those fur babies. I really love lilac bushes, and this one is so beautiful, I love the fragrance that they give off, they were one of my mother's favorite flowers, Thank you for this video, it was very helpful, and gave me a few ideas on what to put in an area in my yard.
Happy 1st Mother's Day, Laura!! Really enjoyed the throwback video & how the lilac looks now. And was so heartwarming to see Dexter; he was always such a graceful joy in your videos :)
Hi Laura, That's a very beautiful Lilac bush. It was so nice to see Dexter in this video. He was such a sweet boy and I miss seeing him wandering around the garden while you work. Happy Mothers Day !!!!!
It's February 2021 and I am so excited to see this. We bought our house last year. I had a lilac bush when I was kid and I loved it. I have always wanted one again. I am going to buy the 1 gallon variety from the link you provided. I live in Pittsburgh and I cannot wait to see how it works.
I planted my first boomerang last fall and mine is a quarter of yours. Mine has leaves and little buds on it, I’m encouraged! HappyFirst Mother’s Day!💐
Wow ! It really filled out, and is Beautiful ! Thank You Laura for showing us the Updates on your Reblooming Lilac ... I bet it smells so good ! Happy Mothers Day Laura 💜🌻💜
I love the update! Thank you for sharing. It was good to see a glimpse of Dexter again too. When my daughter was little she organized my plant tags in a small photo album. She just slipped each tag into the top of each page/pocket. Now they are all together in one place and its so easy to just flip through them. Now I just need to put the tags in alphabetical order, but, nah, its fun to look through them all anyway. Loved the video and great editing by Aaron. Happy first Mother's Day!
Dexter, what a sweet baby💛 I live in Spokane in eastern WA (zone 6b) and our town is nicknamed the lilac city because of how many perennial lilacs we have everywhere. This year the lilac in our backyard bloomed and it was a really deep purple at first, more so than I've ever seen and the plant is over 10 years old. It's beautiful to see, and the smell is wonderful :) Happy mother's day!
A binder is a great idea!! I have saved the tags and they're stuck inside a drawer. I probably should add some personal info as well on the back (when I bought them, where I placed them, which soil ammendments I added and when, because I get confused about that stuff) My personal little gardening book. Great idea Robyn.
Miss Dexter, sweet kitty. Love the lilac, I need to plant one of these. .....AN IDEA FOR PLANT TAGS. Get a 3ring binder, sheet protectors, print out screen-shots of each garden area (for example take Aaron's overhead go pro video, on the computer make a screenshot) Put each printed screen shot in a sheet protector along with the plant tags. Then you can just flip through binder. To take it a step further have a sheet of paper in with it and as you add something list name and date. Also there maybe sheet protectors that are enclosed or have a flap so nothing will spill out.
So pretty 💜🕊✨🕊💜 I only just watched that video the other day were you had planted it, and was thinking, gees I hope Laura does an update on this plant ... I love to see updates on the stuff you plant, it's so encouraging. 👍🏼 all the way 🕊😁
That round rock looks curiously like a geode. They tend to be very round and heavier than they look. What did you guys ever do with it? If you still have it you should try cracking it open! And happy Mother's Day to you Laura!
Thanks for sharing the beautiful video! I have a small lilliac in container, it blooming very well for two years. I would like to learn how to prune lilliac after first blooming so there are more blooms later. Thanks!
Thank you for the update! I was recently watching videos from last year and wondering if i missed any updates lol we are planting trees, shrubs, grasses, etc... we get tons of inspiration from your videos. Totally different zone so some colors and textures we are still searching for something friendly to our zone. We can't find half of the stuff we want and need so frustrating. I did order some directly from proven winners including flower pillows and i think next year i will plan on doing the same. Happy mothers day!!
Your first Mother's Day Happy Mother's Day💜 Hard to see Dexter but you give him a great life. Wonder what Dad and Benjamin are going to do for you today?
First! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY LAURA!!! ♡♡♡♡♡ I hope you're being pampered and so is your mom! As for Lilacs- I wish they did well where I live/wish I knew how to accommodate and care for them. I just plant butterfly bushes instead. Same with hydrangeas: I've subbed them for plumbagos and lantana (lantana being a much tinier and Alice in Wonderland version of a hydrangea). Soooo pretty though.
Happy Mother’s Day!!! I almost bought one of these yesterday for my wife, buuuttt I think now I need to go back for it. LOL. I put together a quick video of what I actually did do for her on my channel. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
What a beautiful lilac. I planted a lilac bush a few years ago and last year it got one little section of buds but my dog chewed it off before it bloomed. No buds at all this year. I'm super bummed about it! Yours is gorgeous though
Awwww dexter 😩❤️ happy Mother’s Day, Laura!! Xo

This was the first time I didn't tear up...glad to see we are coping :-P

Jeanie Malone Me too. I've never loved a cat so much I've never met.
Omg same here 😞

I work at a paint and sip company and just did a lilac painting for Mother’s Day :). Happy Mother’s Day, Laura!
Wow that put on a lot of growth!
The lilac looks gorgeous! It defiantly filled out since last year.
Happy Mother's Day! ❤️
Thanks for the update. Enjoyed seeing the comparison.
That is a beautiful plant! Thanks for sharing.
Oh, it looks so beautiful!!!
Happy Mother’s Day! Wow that plant is lovely. I have a very old lilac that needs to come out.
I really enjoyed seeing the comparison from newly planted to one year old. I'll have to find a place for that lilac.

Thank you for the video this morning! Happy Mother's day Laura!

That sounded so lovely, I decided to google it. Gorgeous. You guys have a lilac garden and even lilac festivals! Another place on my bucket list.
Dexter 💗💗 beautiful time lapse of the lilac
Absolutely beautiful! Love lilacs!!
Thanks for the flashback, that was a nice idea. And Happy Mother’s Day!
@gardenanswer. That's beautiful! Bonus: Seeing Dexter! Happy Mothers Day Laura. Thanks for the update.
Happy Mother's Day Laura!!!!
Happy first Mother's Day to you Laura, from Ontario, Canada! We love your videos, thanks.
That’s a absolutely beautiful plant!...and we got to see Dexter again ☺️
Oh, and hope you enjoyed your first Mother’s Day 😊
Thanks for the update video, I look forward to seeing how your plants grow
Beautiful! And loved seeing Dexter.....Russell has some really big shoes to fill. 😍😍
Happy Mother’s Day 💝 and thank for the update 👏🏼
Oh sweet Dexter! ❤ I love lilac's! Happy Mother's day Laura!! 🌷💖
OOOOH. I want one of those lilacs. Very pretty. Happy first Mother's Day, Laura!
I started a binder for the plant tags that I take off the plant. It is great to refer back to for many reasons.
A binder is a great idea!!
I have saved the tags and they're stuck inside a drawer. I probably should add some personal info as well on the back (when I bought them, where I placed them, which soil ammendments I added and when, because I get confused about that stuff)
My personal little gardening book. Great idea Robyn.
I really liked this kind of update. I'd love to see more like it.
OMG, its beautiful... One of my favorite trees. Thank You very helpful information.
I love up date videos. I have been watching last years May garden tour so it’s great to see how things have developed from year to year. Thank you

I love these update videos. Please do more!!

Dexter...Happy Mother's Day Laura.
Beautiful lilac, thanks so much for the update.

Love lilac bushes, but can't grow in central FL. Happy Mother's Day!
Dexter! 💚💚💚 Miss you little one.
thank you for the update video. I am fascinated with this lilac since it doesn't look like it gets to be a huge sprawling mess like bigger lilacs.
Love the follow up video! I just planted one of these I randomly found at Home Depot.
I have this lilac, I totally love mine, and smells gorgeous!!!

Very pretty!
Yes, I love Dexter and Laura’s beautiful lilac too, of course! 😢 We miss Dexter!
RIP Dexter. He was such a cutie.
What a perfect way to do a video, past and present. That is what I call thinking outside the box. Way to go . . . :- )
First! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY LAURA!!! ♡♡♡♡♡ I hope you're being pampered and so is your mom!

Soooo pretty though.
Thanks for the update. Love to see the before and after picks
So beautiful!❤️
Hi, Laura! Great info on the lilac. That rock might be a big geode or agate nodule. I think I'd talk to an expert about it before pounding on it. :)
Happy 1st Mother’s Day Laura! Be sure and tell us what your hubby did for you (1st one better be spectacular Aaron!)
Its prettier than the past year ... Good choice !! ;)
YOUR AWESOME ALOT OF GOOD IDEAS!!
Wow it did get bushy
Happy Mother’s Day! Your 1st. Love seeing the video. I think I want one of these. Thank you for reshaping the first video.
Liliac beautiful can smell from here!!
Enjoyed seeing a project one year later!
Sweet Dexter ❤ Happy mother's day :)
Happy Mother’s Day!!! I almost bought one of these yesterday for my wife, buuuttt I think now I need to go back for it. LOL. I put together a quick video of what I actually did do for her on my channel. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
I love your videos so much! They calm and inspire me.
What a beautiful lilac. I planted a lilac bush a few years ago and last year it got one little section of buds but my dog chewed it off before it bloomed. No buds at all this year. I'm super bummed about it! Yours is gorgeous though
Mothers Day Blessings💐
