Hulda Klager

Today we visited the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens near Vancouver, Washington. In 1905, in her early forties,  she began hybridizing lilacs. At her death in 1960, Hulda had hybridized more than 250 varieties!

Kendallishere, Bella, my granddaughter, and I celebrated my sister's birthday. It was a delightful day among the lilacs,  viburnums, deutzia, and other spring flowers.

The extra is a photo of Bella, whirling in the garden, taken by Kendall.
