Syringa

The lilac has an extensive colour palette with colours such as white, pink, dark blue, violet and blue-purple. The flower symbolises domestic happiness, nostalgia and first love. The lilac is grown in Aalsmeer and is taken from the fields in autumn to grow further in the greenhouse. The flowers are then harvested and the plants remain with their roots in the earth.
