Lilacs growing (pictures of) in the fields at the flowering shrub farm in Voorheesville, NY. Click picture for a larger image. Look for a pink date label near the post for a clue to the date the picture was taken. The rows are Labeled A through H. Links at bottom.
Lilacs in the field ROW A in the upper field. The ones that have yellow labels will be pulled out the following March and repotted into 7 gallon pots for the plant sale. I plan to list the names of lilacs in each row on one of the posts visible in the picture along with the date this picture was taken and the row designation.

Lilacs in field Row G. I use this row as a staging area. Plants are potted in three gallon pots and grouped here by variety. There may be lilacs, roses and bkueberry bushes. After tey have been trained and grown for a year they will be large enough that they will have to be spread further apart and we will move them into one of the other rows.
