The last day or so our purple lilacs have come into full bloom. The phenology of the flowering dates for purple lilacs are used in a number of data collection centres as an important indicator of weather and climate patterns. I think the reason they are especially useful is that lilacs grow in a wide range of places, have been growing for a long time and there has been an interest in tracking the flowering dates for many years.
Most of the day in the Bella Coola Valley was a beautiful sunny day. A bit of high cloud came in this evening, but still a very pleasant day. Grizzly
So many!
