'May's Guest'

A purple-pink tribute to the outstanding scientist Maija Eihei.

This lilac variety is dedicated to Maija Eihe, a scientific associate at the Pūre Horticultural Experiment Station. Maija was an outstanding scientist and also a charming woman. Upītis collaborated quite a lot with the scientists at Pūre, and Maija had earned his special attention.

Lilac blooms intensely pink flowers and is very abundant. It stands out among other lilacs due to the interesting petal structure.
