I saw lilacs on my walk today (photo 1). They're a European species, native to the Balkans, widely planted in North America for their fragrant blooms. They sometimes struggle here in the Pacific Northwest with our dry summers. A (nearly) native alternative is California lilac (Ceanothus spp-photo 2). They also have fragrant purple flowers that attract bees like crazy, but are evergreen and drought tolerant.
