Syringa have a strong fragrance. Flowering varies between mid spring to early summer, depending on the species. The fruit is a dry, brown capsule, splitting in two at maturity to release the two winged seeds. The genus "Syringa" was first formally described in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus and the description was published in "Species Plantarum". The genus name "Syringa" is derived from Ancient Greek word "syrinx" meaning "pipe" or "tube" and refers to the hollow branches of "S. vulgaris". The English common name "lilac" is from the French "lilac" via the Arabic ليلك ("lilak") from Persian نیلک ("nilak") meaning "bluish". Lilacs
J. C. Jacobsen Garden Designed by Svend Eske Kristensen in collaboration with Carlsberg's Project and Planning Departments, it is the result of a 1967-69 expansion of the Ny Tap bottling plant on a strip of land at the bottom of the garden. The design selected seeks to balance the needs of a working industrial site with those of a private garden in terms of securing privacy and mainting an aesthetic backdrop to the garden space as seen from what was then known as the Honorary Residence. The Hanging Gardens was listed in 2008 and will be incorporated into the design of a residential highrise
