'The Flame Within' With my Italian roots from the northern
part of Italy near Venice my grandparents were wine growers. I was blessed
to get passed the passion of growing plants and learnt from an early age
that it has all to do with the roots. Good roots will yield great grapes
and the same with lilacs. Grapes, Olives and Lilacs are all closely related
in their yields. The day you plant them the yield only comes later. Sometimes
it may be a couple of years and sometimes as in olives, many. But the reward
of the crop far outweighs the waiting. Choose your plants
well for they will last a lifetime. 'The Flame Within' is the passion
we have for our lilac nursery and our children. We are teaching our 6 children the
passions we have for plants and hope that some day they will preserve our
hard work of putting together so many lilacs in a single collection. Working with plants everyday for
us is a not work but a way of life.
