\n Arboretum<\/a> to see the lilacs! Who
\n knew the Dowbrigade was a closet horticulturist?<\/p>\n
\n Arboretum<\/a>, in Jamaica Plain on the south
\n side of Boston, is the oldest arboretum, or Botanical Gardens, in the
\n United States. The land belongs to the city, and it is open to
\n the public, although it is run by Harvard under a long-term lease. Originally
\n stocked by New England sea captains and Harvard Professors bringing back
\n exotic seeds and saplings from voyages around the world, it now specializes
\n in North American and Asian flora. Besides maples, crabapples,
\n rhododendrons, and conifers, they have a major collection of lilacs.

\n Highland Park<\/a>, which contests with the Royal
\n Botanical Gardens<\/a> in Burlington,
\n Ontario (Canada) for the title of "World’s Largest Lilac Collection".
\n Each claims about 1200 plants.<\/p>\n
\n remember, when we were young, picking multi-colored bouquets of full-bloom
\n lilacs every May for our grade school teacher. Sucking up for a
\n passing grade, no doubt. The lilac’s don’t last long – in two weeks they
\n go from thin slivers of color to bare browning nubs. In this they are
\n sort of America’s cherry blossoms.<\/p>\n
