What's the difference between Lilac & Lavender?
Some think it is the same, but, as seen below, there is a difference.
Lilac is a warmer color, closer to the reds/pinks.
Lavender is a coolor color, closer to the blues.
See all the other macro shooters here.
I also have a posting about the care of lilac bushes on my gardening site.
Oh, and one more shameless plug for my third blog (the one that started it all for me), Life Makes Me Laugh. There is a contest to name the top ten Babes in Babeland. Please visit, and if you like my stories, vote for me :)

How pretty! I too wish I had discovered photography sooner and would dearly love to go to school to learn more. As it is, I'm happy being an amateur.
Love these little lilac stars!
Lilac and Lavender sounds like the title of a good romance book. :)
My Macro is here: Carletta’s Captures.
So pretty and delicate macro!

Nice lilac but it does need feeding.
Yes indeed there is a difference, complete different plants and similar but different colors.
Your photo is unique and lovely.
Wonderful shot!! So soft and lovely!!Sarah
Very nice photo! Where di you get the tag to put "Lilac" on. It's neat.
Thanks everyone for the encouraging comments!
I know it appears the lilac is a little weak, but it is a second bloom on a species that I don't think is supposed to re-bloom. The weather has it fooled and it hasn't had but a month or two to generate new seeds.
For MK - As far as my tag under my photos, it is part of a mask I created in PrintShop. The entire frame and tag is placed over my photo and then I add the text to the tag. E-mail me via my contact form & I'll send you a jpg of either the whole thing or just the tag. Let me know.
Very pretty, my lilac blooms are long gone. They smell so good I wish they would last longer.
I think I would call this pink rather than lilac, buèt I agree, it is a very thin line! Lavender is more blue. Great Macro!
Lovely lilac macro photo ;--)
I didn't play this week but I have participated in the past a few times: My Monday Macros
Hugs and blessings,
Very pretty capture.
Sorry I'm so slow getting around! But I bet that lilac smelled great too!
