My mother always gave a lilac as a housewarming gift. Always, regardless of growing zone. It's made me plant a lilac every place I've lived, regardless of growing zone. My current one blooms annually (making me think of my mother), but it's straggly and it needs more care than I can provide where I live, but we both struggle on.

Fall happens there tree by tree. It's true, and lovely symbolism.

So beautiful! I think trees with their marvelous generation spanning heaven touching capacity are the perfect tribute and gift. When we were kids we each got to choose a tree to be planted in our yard as our tree. Mine was a dogwood and it was a beautiful little thing with upturned branches.❤️
