    #OTD Victor #Lemoine, #French #Flower #Breeder, died.

    Incredibly, Lemoine didn't start working on #Lilacs - his #Greatest #Legacy - until he was almost 50. He made them #Bloom earlier & later, expanded the #Color, & grew the first #Double #Lilac.

    His #Wife, Marie, #HandPollinated thousands of Lilac #Flowers.

    When the Lemoine #Nursery closed in 1968, the Lemoine's had bred 214 new #Cultivars of
    Lilac.
