Lilac Sunday at the Arboretum
There was a paradise of purples, and lavenders and whites on Mother’s Day at the Arnold Arboretum for Lilac Sunday.
Visitors to the grounds were able to experience the sight, and fragrance, of one of the premier collections of the spring flowering tree in North America, with over 400 examples representing 173 different types of lilacs.
Lilac Sunday is a tradition at the Arboretum dating back to 1908.
