  3. We had a lilac tree on our lawn when I was a child and I thought I recognized the flowers on this tree. I may be wrong. They were certainly lilac-like.

  4. When I lived on Gay Street, residents called it a a wisteria. I had never heard the word before, although I was familiar when lilacs last in dooryards bloomed.

  6. I would love to have the apartment with that fire escape locked in the wisteria branches--it would be just like having a tree house!
