It was the wallpaper picture of a lilac on the NGS pages ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/win3/wallpaper/lilac.jpg (takes some time to load) which made me aware that I certainly have lilacs, not doves. In one of my books as well as on the Colous Palette the lilacs look much darker. Maybe that's what they are desired to look like by show standards but all lilacs I have seen so far were like the one in Julian's picture. Eva
