The genus name Syringa is derived from Greek syrinx, meaning a hollow tube or pipe, and refers to the broad pith in the shoots in some species, easily hollowed out since ancient times to make reed pipes and flutes.[8]
The English common name "lilac" is from the French lilac.[9][10][11]
A pale purple colour is generally known as lilac after the characteristic color of the flowers of many kinds of lilac, especially Syringa vulgaris.
They are small trees, ranging in size from 2 to 10 metres (6 ft 7 in to 32 ft 10 in) tall, with stems up to 20 to 30 centimetres (7.9 to 11.8 in) diameter. The leaves are opposite (occasionally in whorls of three) in arrangement, and their shape is simple and heart-shaped to broad lanceolate in most species, but pinnate in a few species (e.g. S. protolaciniata, S. pinnatifolia). The flowers are produced in spring, each flower being 5 to 10 millimetres (0.20 to 0.39 in) in diameter with a four-lobed corolla, the corolla tube narrow, 5 to 20 millimetres (0.20 to 0.79 in) long; they are bisexual, with fertile stamens and stigma in each flower. The usual flower colour is a shade of purple (often a light purple or lilac), but white, pale yellow and pink, and even a dark burgundy color are also found. The flowers grow in large panicles, and in several species have a strong fragrance. Flowering varies between mid spring to early summer, depending on the species. The fruit is a dry, brown capsule, splitting in two at maturity to release the two winged seeds.[3][4][5][9]
Lilacs are popular shrubs in parks and gardens throughout the temperate zone, and several hybrids and numerous cultivars have been developed. The term French lilac is often used to refer to modern double-flowered cultivars, thanks to the work of prolific breeder Victor Lemoine. Lilacs grow most successfully in well-drained soils, particularly those based on chalk.[12] They flower on old wood, and produce more flowers if unpruned. If pruned, the plant responds by producing fast-growing young vegetative growth with no flowers, in an attempt to restore the removed branches. Lilac bushes can be prone to powdery mildew disease.
The wood of lilac is close-grained, diffuse-porous, extremely hard and one of the densest in Europe.[citation needed] The sapwood is typically cream-coloured and the heartwood has various shades of brown and purple. Lilac wood has traditionally been used for engraving, musical instruments, knife handles etc.[citation needed] When drying, the wood has a tendency to be encurved as a twisted material, and to split into narrow sticks.
Lilacs are often considered to symbolize love (see language of flowers). In Greece, Lebanon, and Cyprus, the lilac is strongly associated with Easter time because it flowers around that time; it is consequently called paschalia.
In a poem by Walt Whitman called When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd Lilacs are often a reference to Abraham Lincoln.
Syringa vulgaris is the state flower of New Hampshire, because it "is symbolic of that hardy character of the men and women of the Granite State" (New Hampshire Revised Statute Annotated (RSA) 3:5).
Last
weekend I was on a short four day vacation stay with Meryl and Allan,
some of my relatives and their family, in Mission,
BC. On the afternoon of Thursday, July 23, 2015 I took the West
Coast Express Train from Waterfront
Station (Vancouver) out,
and returned early Monday morning, July 27, 2015, again by the West
Coast Express Train. Gracious hosts that they are, Allan both picked
me up and dropped me off at the Mission
City Station, a train station. On Friday, July 24, 2015 Allan,
in his 80s, joined me in the District
of Mission gymnasium, in there 3,600 sq. foot weight room, for
my regular exercise program. Meryl fed me so well that I'll need
to pick up on my exercise routines.
On Saturday, July 25, 2015, Allan took me to visit Westminster Abbey, a community of Benedictine in Mission, British Columbia, established in 1939 from the Abbey of Mount Angel, Oregon. The abbey is home to the Seminary of Christ the King and is a member of the Swiss American Congregation within the Benedictine Confederation.
The abbey's official name is the Abbey of Saint Joseph of Westminster; Saint Joseph is the abbey's patron saint.
Since Allan is of Scottish ancestry, I think he was pleased that District of Mission has its own tartan, presented to Mission, British Columbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia by the Mission Weavers and Spinners Guild October 18, 1999, the tartan (Tartan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) was created to reflect the diversity of natural and industrial history of the Mission area. Mission also has its own Coat of Arms and Flag composed, according to classic heraldic laws, of the shield of arms arranged to fit a horizontal shape.
The Official Flower of Mission is the Caitlin Rhododendron. It is a beautiful pink scented rhododendron that was created by Dr. Jim Marcellus through the crossing of the Fortune (Images) and Hummingbird (Images) Rhododendrons, and named after his granddaughter. It was presented to council by Communities in Bloom on April 2, 2007.
The Caitlin Rhododendron is registered with the Royal Horticultural Society. It is a large shrub, very dense and its leaves are quite small, oval in shape and the flowers are a stunning, brilliant pink colour. Perhaps its outstanding characteristic is its lovely scent and when the plant is in full bloom, around the middle of April, the blooms cover the whole shrub from the base to the top. It takes the plant-lover’s breath away with its beauty.
A special thank you to the Fraser South Rhododendron Society for allowing us to use this spectacular picture of the Caitlin Rhododendron taken by the late Dr. Margaret ‘Mike’ Trembath.”
Bats, butterflies and hummingbirds are pollinators of both
Honeysuckle and Lilacs.

Lonicera hispidula is cultivated by specialty native plant plant nurseries as an ornamental plant for drought-tolerant wildlife gardens and natural landscaping on the West Coast of North America. The flowers attract hummingbirds; other birds eat the fruits.
Description
Lonicera hispidula has distinctive leaves growing
opposite on the stems, the uppermost pairs fused at the bases to
surround the stem. At the end of the stem grow attractive pink
honeysuckle blossoms. It bears spherical red fruits which are edible
but bitter.
Subspecies
There are two subspecies:
- Lonicera hispidula hispidula
- Lonicera hispidula vacillans.
The stems are hollow and sturdy and
were used by the Pomo
people as smoking
pipes.
Lonicera hispidula is cultivated
by specialty native

Syringa (Lilac) is a genus of 12 currently
recognized[1]
species of flowering
woody plants
in the olive family (Oleaceae),
native to woodland and scrub from southeastern Europe
to eastern Asia, and
widely and commonly cultivated in temperate
areas elsewhere.[2][3][4][5]
The genus is most closely
related to Ligustrum
(privet), classified with it in Oleaceae tribus Oleeae subtribus
Ligustrinae.[6]Lilacs are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species (an order of insects that includes moths and butterflies, both called lepidopterans - including Copper Underwing, Scalloped Oak and Svensson's Copper Underwing and Saras.

Several
locations in North America hold annual Lilac
Festivals, including:
- The Arnold Arboretum in Boston, Massachusetts, which celebrates "Lilac Sunday" every May. The Arboretum shows off its collection of over 422 lilac plants, of 194 different varieties.[13] Lilac Sunday is the only day of the year when picnicking is allowed on the grounds of the Arboretum.
- Lombard, Illinois, called the "Lilac Village", which has an annual lilac festival and parade in May. The village also contains Lilacia Park, a garden with over 200 varieties of lilacs, as well as over 50 kinds of tulips.
- Mackinac Island, in Michigan, which celebrates a weeklong lilac festival and lilac parade each June.
- Rochester, New York, which has held its Lilac Festival since 1898, the longest-running in North America. This celebration is held in Highland Park, which has the most varieties of lilacs at any single place, many of which were developed in Rochester.
- Spokane, Washington, known as the "Lilac City", which holds an annual lilac festival and lilac parade.
- Franktown,
Ontario, Canada, holds an annual festival.[14]
- Calgary, Alberta -
4th Street Lilac Festival. This free one day event is the start
up to Calgary's vibrant festival season, and encourages citizens to
shake off their winter blues and reintroduce themselves to the
thriving creative community in our city.

Needless
to say, I had my cameras at the ready for a close-up photoshoot of
some of the Honeysuckle and Lilac Flowers around Mission, British Columbia. Finally, the first steady rain arrived in over two months,
albeit not enough to recharge the water reservoirs or aquifers.
Mission maintained its Level 4 water conservation alert. Conditions
are so dry in B.C's Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast and Fraser Valley
that the provincial government had raised the drought rating to the
highest category — Level 4 — and are warning that if things get
worse, water shortages could affect people, industry and agriculture.
Further water restrictions may come. This
provincial drought rating is distinct from the regional ratings used
by water managers, such as Metro Vancouver — but the change means
further water use restrictions could be imposed in the region, if
necessary (BC's Provincial Drought Rating System is on Table 2: Drought Response Levels Summary, on page 14 of this .pdf file).
- Hummingbird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . Some favorite species are listed at The Hummingbird Society [www.hummingbirdsociety.org]. Hummingbirds prefer natural nectar, so try placing a feeder near some of their favorite flowers. If you have window boxes near your window feeder, try planting them with tubular, red flowers.

- A pollinator is the biotic agent (vector) that moves pollen from the male anthers of a flower to the female stigma of a flower to accomplish fertilization or 'syngamy' of the female gametes in the ovule of the flower by the male gametes from the pollen grain. A pollinator is different from a pollenizer, which is a plant that is a source of pollen for the pollination process. Anthecology is the scientific study of pollination. Insect pollinators include bees, not only honey bees but solitary species and bumblebees; other insects including pollen wasps (Masarinae) and ants; a variety of flies including bee flies and hoverflies; lepidopterans, both butterflies and moths; and flower beetles. Vertebrates, mainly bats and birds, but also some non-bat mammals (monkeys, lemurs, possums, rodents) and some reptiles (lizards and snakes) pollinate certain plants. Among the pollinating birds are hummingbirds, honeyeaters and sunbirds with long beaks; they pollinate a number of deep-throated flowers. (Cycads, which are not flowering plants, are also pollinated by insects.)
- Scientists estimate that there are many thousands of animal
pollination partners, ranging from invertebrates (animals without
backbones) such as bees, butterflies, wasps, flies, and beetles to
vertebrates (animals with backbones) such as birds, bats, and other
mammals. In North America, most of the pollinators are insects like
bees, butterflies and beetles, or vertebrates like hummingbirds and
bats. But elsewhere in the world pollinators can be primates (like
lemurs), Australian possums, arboreal (tree-dwelling) rodents, or
even reptiles like the gecko lizard. ~ Smithsonian

Second, grazing is a method of agriculture in which domestic livestock are used to convert grass and other forage into meat, milk and other products.
With
more modern cameras and computers, since 2013, I now do most all of
my photographic and videographic work in Hi-Definition
HD – 1080p
(pixels). Many of my followers, however, do not have a Hi Speed
Internet connections and the images may be pixilated
– see also Wikipedia example. Or, rasterised
(blurry). There are a few ways of overcoming the problem:
- Once the video slideshow is started, at the bottom right of any YouTube video click on the gear icon and change the quality of the image from HD 1080p (pixels), down to, say 144p, then try increasing it slowly.
- Both
the governments of Alberta
and British
Columbia have made commitments to place Hi Speed Internet
through-out their respective provinces; as is the case in most other
North American jurisdictions.

Vancouver, in partnership with the UBC School of Kinesiology and the
Canadian Institute of Health Research, is conducting a study on
older adult adherence to exercise. ... Regular physical activity is
associated with a diverse range of positive physical and mental
health outcomes, with the effects being particularly pronounced
among older adults over the age of 65. Despite these health
benefits, involvement in physical activity has been found to decline
over the course of adulthood. ... With estimates suggesting that
approximately 50 percent of older adults drop out or abandon
physical activity programs within six months of enrollment, there is
a tremendous need for sustainable interventions to maintain a
healthy lifestyle. In particular, people are more likely to keep
their involvement in physical activity programs if they are provided
with the opportunity to exercise with others in social or
group-based settings as opposed to undertaking physical activity on
their own. Who can participate? Men and women over the age of 65.”
