Happy Weekend!
What could be more romantic then afternoon tea under the lilacs?
Our Lilacs
You have probably realized that I love lilacs in all colors and varieties and I am looking forward to the day when they will be blooming again! Is there anything sweeter then the fragrance of lilacs???
I am joining The Rose Garden in Malevik for Show Off Saturday.
I hope you all have a very happy weekend!
Carolyn
This is a beautiful post. Love your lilacs. All of your pictures are just lovely. I am going to be sure and take pictures with my lilacs this year. I have watched mine grow over the 7 years I have lived in my house and they have gotten much bigger than I expected. Thanks so much for this post, I always love visiting your blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteWe have the first spring day here vest in Norway. I've been sitting on my terracce today, and the sun was warming, a fantastic feeling.
Your pictures are beautiful, and I'm sure you will give us a lot of inspiration from your garden this summer to come.
Have a really nice weekend Carolyn.
Hugs from Mette

Your Lilacs are gorgeous, I wish we could grow them here in the South. I understand they smell fabulous, too. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteOh, these photos are simply beautiful. I love lilacs and have 2 bushes at our home and 2 on our country lot. They look so pretty in the mason jar. Hugs, Deb
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your gorgeous lilacs!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I was just describing lilacs to my daughter yesterday, because we don't live in a climate where they survive, and it nearly broke my heart that she hasn't gotten to breathe them in yet. I guess it's time for a road trip to my mom's :) Thanks for the lovely post.
ReplyDeleteYour lilacs are amazing! It seems like we are all going to our flower archive to give us a boost until spring. I did a flower post at well, please stop by if you get a chance, Laura

Your lilacs are stunning, Carolyn! I've never had any in my own garden, but I love the scent. I will have to see if I can find some in a bouquet to bring into the house.

The Lilacs are so pretty I have never thought of Lilacs as being so pretty but you have shown me they are thank you for that..........now if only I could have some pretty flowers around my house.....that would be even better....
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise to see all your lilacs from past years, just beautiful!
I hope my Beauty of Moscow blooms this year, it was vigorous after I planted it last spring.

Carolyn: Most beautiful lilacs! Can't wait until mine start blooming. I've tried to bring boquet in the house but mine always wilt. Do you have any hints to share...Judy at GoldCountryCottage
ReplyDeleteJust so gorgeous! I can almost smell them. Pamela
ReplyDeleteMuch as I love Winter, I can just smell the lilacs.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteWhat a luscious array of lilacs you've presented. I've always been partial to them, no doubt influenced by my mother's fondness for their scented loveliness! Eventually, we'll both have blooms at our homes.

So beautiful. My mother loved lilacs. Thank you for the memory your photos invoked.
ReplyDeleteKatie

I have just ordered two lilac plants 'Madame Lemoine' and 'Sensation' from the Telegraph newspaper garden section. I hope they flourish as well as yours. xx

ReplyDeleteDorothea
Oh how YUMMY. I love lilacs......and they were my Mum's favorite flower. As soon as I get a whiff of them, I think of her. She'd have loved these pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou probably already know the sweet little June over at http://laughingwithangels.blogspot.com/ but if you don't you need to go visit. You will love her... and she actually has lilacs posted now too.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,
Spencer
YESTERDAY..Tornadoes everywhere..today PTL Not.
ReplyDeleteOMY I HVE TO HV A LILAC BUSH/TREE!!! I saw them when we were in IOWA May 2011-am wonderig if they will thrive in the deep south {South Alabama} Do yo know?
Oh Carolyn, I am utterly swooning. I share your love of lilacs. We get them here in the late spring and just taking a walk in the neighborhood is so pleasant as the perfume fills the air! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Judy
So beautiful lilacs. You never knew there were so many different colors of them.
ReplyDeleteHere we have like spring right now - lovely! Hope you have a nice weekend.
Love Elzie
Wowwwwww BEAUTIFUL !!! happy weekend love ....xxx...
ReplyDeleteYour photos are inspiring and I wish for the day that lilacs will fill my yard once again...have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet lilacs! Even the sight of a photo of lilacs warms a winter's day. How I love them and anticipate their spring arrival.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend.
Beauty of Moscow has to be my favourite, Carolyn. Admittedly, I love them all! I can smell them now right through my computer screen. Sigh. I, for one, would love to hear your 'secrets' for growing such marvellous specimens...
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying the weekend. The temps are bitter here this past week.

Lovley to see my favorite in so many ways .I have not seen the Beauty of Moscow before ,Have a great weekend,Nette
ReplyDeleteThose lilacs are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh, Carolyn what a delicious treat!! We have slushy snow here . . . which I find at this time of year, quite difficult to bear . . . when so many are posting blossoms and food from their gardens. Seeing your fabulous photography of one of my favorite blooms is a delightful surprise. Beautiful!!! Here's to Lilac time!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your beautiful display- such a wonderful gift on a overcast day. I love lilacs: Forty years ago my husband and I had filled our little country church with lilacs all overflowing from white wicker baskets. The smell was intoxicating- the memory will always be precious.
ReplyDeleteAgain, Thank you
So beautiful! I can almost smell those lilacs. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe only have one lilac bush so far, and didn't fare too well during the dry spell last Summer. In fact, I thought it was dead. However, when I pruned it, I found green inside the branches. :-)
All your pictures make me smile. Lilacs remind me of my childhood and my mothers sweet garden... full of lilacs and peonies...
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such beautiful things.
Have a blissful week.
