it disguised itself, honest

We have a tree behind our garage, and it just looked kinda boring over the winter...then low and behold it sprouted flowers! and it's a lilac tree!
I didn't recognize it, or the leaves at all when it started budding (mainly because I don't spend any time on that side of the house, or I would've inspected it with Hunter). I got the bright idea to take a few clippings for my dining room last night, and this morning it smells so purty!
I love lilacs.
