FOR MORE PAGES LIKE THIS CHECK OUT THE HTTP://WWW.NEWPLANTPAGE.COM The ultimate reference to lilacs is now available from a major book vendors including www.amazon.com and www.bn.com. Based on Father Fiala's first edition, this is a major revision and update by Freek Vrugtman, International Cultivar Registration Authority for the genus Syringa. The 416 page guide is comprehensive in all aspects including all 21 known species and 10 of the natrual hybrids. An amazing 600 color plates are included (most of them new), now covering the newest introductions from east to west. This book is highly recommended and will be a valuable addition to your library for years to come.
Syringa oblata var. dilitata (Nak.) Rehder next to cultivar var. alba 'Frank Meyer' which has been one of the best whites. The later reminds one of an Exochorda which bloomed the same week in March here at the Raulston Arboretum. 'Frank Meyer' has a slightly smaller in the inflorescence than this variety selection but peaks 7 days later. The week after this photo was taken, 'Frank Meyer' was still bright white while the variety selection was turning very brown. This variety is useful in warmer climates such as Raleigh North Carolina where S. vulgaris is less reliable for blooming and prone to mildew at times in the 100/100 (temp/humidity) days. Click image to enlarge. LCH	Syringa x laciniata is quite early (March in NC) and useful in a small garden. The richly colored, incised leaf is pleasant in summer and is certainly more interesting than most spring-flowering deciduous shrubs in this aspect. It is also heat tolerant and mildew resistant in warm US climates. It is already being grown by wholesalers from Georgia to North Carolina. It has also proved to be cold hardy to USDA 4 so it's potential range of usefulness in the modern landscape is very wide. It needs a bit of corrective pruning early in life to keep it dense. Click image to enlarge. LCH	Syringa TINKERBELLE™ is a remarkable cultivar for it's small leaf, compact size, and simply glorious bicolored pink flowers. It is fairly close to a true cherry red in bud and that is not available in any other dwarf lilac we know. The contrast of the bright, almost lime green new foliage with the buds is more than this photograph can convey. This plant bloomed April 19th, 2003 at the Greensboro Arboretum in NC.

JC Raulston Arboretum. May 2006. Note the very fine-textured, speckled chimera combined with the occasional larger,
unspotted patch. The plant is greener by June. This cultivar name is perhaps unfortunate since there is no Aucuba clone
in general cultivation with anywhere near this fine a spot. In the old days this would have been called a "pulverulenta" type or finely
pulverized/powedered type of chimera.
