Lilacs in August? Should I be amazed?

I planted several suckers 17 years ago - Syringa vulgaris. The buds usually freeze and I seldom have more that 1 or 2 struggling flowers on the one remaining shrub. Recently I looked into trying a reblooming variety such as Josee or Bloomerang so that I'd at least have some lilacs in the year. I was shocked today to find my existing shrub blooming cheerfully away! Is this miraculous, rare or merely unusual?
