"Beauty of Moscow" Lilac from the Lilac Festival.

Botanical Name: Syringa vulgaris 'Krasavitsa Moskovy' (Beauty of Moscow)
Form: Woody shrub
Sun Exposure: Partial Shade/Full
Sun Height/Habit: 12 - 15', rounded shape
Spread: 6' - 12'
Spacing: 8' - 10'
Foliage Type: Pale green, heart shaped leaves, 4" - 5"
Flower Form: Double flowers forms 5"- 8" panicles
Flower Color: White - pink in bud - with pink cast to blooms when fully open.
Unique Characteristics: This is one of the most beautiful of lilacs - perfectly formed, large, double, pure white flowers which are pink in bud form showy, dense flowering panicles. Very hardy and weather resistant. Has the most dense flower clusters of any lilac. This variety has a good growth habit and is outstanding wherever it is planted. The lovely, strongly fragrant plumes of flowers cover the plant and the soft bicolored effect of the pink buds against the pure, glistening white flowers is very attractive. The foliage is a rich green with a lot of substance to it.
Additional Information: The top rated Lilac by Father Fiola, the famous Lilac breeder and expert. Bred in Russia by the great Russain lilac hybridist Leonid Kolesnikov.

I resized, ran it through Neat Image to soften the petals, pasted it back in the original to preserve the photo information and sharpened slightly.

Hi Linda,
Thanks for including more lilacs . . . I am a bit behind in viewing your gallery. Although I love them all, I guess I agree with Father FIola, because the composition of this one compelled me to comment. You are very fortunate to have so many celebrated lilacs near you!
All the best,
Karen
