The color called “lilac” in CSS is a light purple, with equal amounts of red and blue. (The buds on this bush were a magenta, with a good deal more red than blue.) Eleven days later, this bush was almost done for the year. It looked like the flowers had indeed been lilac when fully open and were fading to lavender and then white.

I love all the colors, especially if they all have the heavenly lilac scent.

Thanks.
While unlikely to be able to smell a small bush on a breezy day, I suspect that the bush here outgassed only when the blossoms were mostly open and mostly fresh, some days between the breezy days when I took photos.
Had more opportunities to smell the heavenly lilac scent of the big bush up against the house where I grew up.
