We are 2nd graders and we are in Lombard, Illinois which is call Lilac Town. Two
of us brought in lilacs, one purple bunch and one white. We noticed that the
purple smelled stronger than the white.  We wondered if that is always true and
why? We brainstormed and noticed the white had bigger leaves and so maybe they
are different kinds. Thank you
