My big question: is May 25 really lilac season in the UK? Because here in NJ they've all come and gone by now, they're an EARLY May flower.

Mine has been reduced to little brown blobs over the last week or two, and drifting all over the ground with yesterdays rain and todays wind. Mind you, the May Blossom (Hawthorn) is over too and that used to last into June 20 years ago.

Here in Toronto they're at their peak, in spite of the weekend's derecho. Cold spring. Some years they're over mid May if we get a heat wave.

The lilacs closest to me (southern England) are similarly brown, but on a walk yesterday I passed some that were still in bloom, if past their peak. May blossom is still out here.

Mine here in Seattle are long gone as well. I'll imagine wearing a sprig, though.

I'm in Seattle and ours are still going, but they're in quite a shady area.

Here in the mountains of NE Oregon, we're still waiting for ours to bloom.
