Lilac

Lilac (from the Latin sirings - pipe, tube). Perhaps this is due to the fact that in the East in the old days of the stems of lilac doing chibuki. According to various sources, lilac includes from 22 to 36 species. Almost all of them in natural conditions grow in the mountainous regions of different regions of Eurasia. Especially common is the common lilac - a luxurious shrub, extremely hardy, which grows perfectly outdoors both in the south and in the north of Europe and decorates the gardens with large inflorescences of its fragrant flowers. According to legend, returning once from the mountains, lilac saw Pan - the god of forests and groves. The nymph looked at him and fled in horror. And no wonder the sight of this god was not pleasant: goat legs with hoofs, horns and a long beard. Perhaps the nymph would have escaped from the goat-headed pursuer, but the path was blocked by the river Ladona. Then she appealed to the gods, and they turned her into stalks of reeds. Pan was satisfied with the fact that he made from these stalks a fine shepherd's pipe - syringx.

In 1562 the ambassador of the Austrian Emperor Ferdinand First Angelius Busbeg, sent to the Turkish Sultan Suleiman, brought to Vienna from Constantinople a bush of a very valued Lulek plant (which in Turkish means lilac).

By the end of the 16th century it was already difficult to find a fairly large garden or a park, wherever a lilac would grow. To produce new varieties of lilac for the first time began in France in 1870. V. Lemoine and his son Emil created more than 200 varieties of this shrub. At present, selection work with lilacs is conducted in the botanical gardens of Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan.

Lilac is recommended to be planted in the areas closed from the wind with good lighting. For lilacs, low, swamped and temporarily flooded in spring or autumn are completely unsuitable. The lilac and its varieties are most sensitive to waterlogging of the soil. For planting lilac, the soil must be moderately moist, fertile, structural, with a high content of humus and a permeable subsoil horizon. Lilac grows well on loamy soils on chernozems filled with organic and mineral fertilizers with a pH of 6-7. Coloring the colors of the lilac depends on the characteristics of the soil and its acidity.
