Lilacs: living with chemists? By one ordinary researcher (observer :o))
Lilacs There are lots of various types of lilacs in the world http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilac And there are lots of various types of lilacs in the garden of our chemical institution as well. Since I’m not sure if they are hand-maden or natural, I don’t care what are their real names :o) I just can differ them by their other attributes, which often are pretty distinct.
Stages of Lilac Life They bloom, they decorate parks and houses with nice colors and scents, and then they wither silently :o(
Lilacs differ by color From white to pink, from purple to actually lilac :o)
Blooming Flowers which aren’t opened yet are darker than the opened ones, and with time the opened ones become of a lighter color
Various shapes Petals can be thin, large, sticked out or grown together
Various size Flowers can be in a big range of sizes, from pretty small to large ones
Various number of petals Usually there are 4 petals.
5 petals There is a belief in certain nations, that finding (and eating :o)) a 5 petal flower brings luck. http://hamsterwoman.livejournal.com/118432.html Well, if you want to be lucky I invite you to my institution (but don’t eat them too many :o))
6 petals Well, I’m not sure if six petal flowers bring luck, but you can have it a lot at my institution too :o) Bon appetite :o)
7 petals It’s getting more interesting :o) and luckier? :o) Well, yeah, since it’s not a white one :o) http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index.php?qid=20070427035733AAvOTyh
3 petals This was more difficult to find than the ones with more than 4 petals
8 petals Well, I am not sure if this one brings luck, but it looks really nice and special :o)
More 8 petals I’m not sure if it’s natural to have 8 petal flowers of lilac. I wonder if our lilacs are in special environment created by our chemists :o)
Mutants To bring more facts; we have lots of various types of mutans, from siam twins to underdeveloped petals :o)
Conclusion Well, I can’t say I liked lilacs much, although they are very popular in my country, but after I saw an 8 petal one, and then noticed the differences in colors and shapes, I kept looking for an “interesting species” all day long, I couldn’t stop observing them adorably :o) I was running from one tree to another, I was carefully analyzing one flower after another. Oh well, I might be charmed by their beauty, or I was just stupified (intoxicated? :o) by their strong scent (odour? :o))
