Plant a bouquet in your backyard with help from Oregon flower growers

After a rare April storm smothered Oregon with snow Monday, Portland flower hobbyist Kishra Ott was called to rescue lilacs shaken from a toppled century-old tree.

She filled floral buckets with the deep purple blooms, returned to her home and made bouquets, which she later delivered to the tree owner, the worker who hauled away fallen branches and a dozen friends.
