As I have said I am having a
Love Affair with Lilacs..
they have been amazing this year....
it wasn't always so...
my Lilac hedge has been many years in the making,
we had early problems with blight...
since I garden organically
and actually use nothing in the garden but compost,
it was a long process of heavy pruning to remove all the disease...
I believe in natural selection in the garden
and that good soil goes along way...
this year
I have been rewarded
with many baskets
full of blooms...
I'll share my Lilac Mantle tomorrow,
stop by for a virtual whiff...
ahhh...
I am linking up to...
Thanks for stopping by today...

Absolutely beautiful! I love lilacs too...mine are pretty much done for the year. I sure wish that they lasted longer, but it's lovely to have them while they're here!
Oh Bella, your lilacs are beautiful. I love them too, but they do not do well in So CA. I had one bush, but it never bloomed and then finally died.
Many thanks for sharing your beautiful lilacs.

I've never had lilacs in my own garden but I do love to see them in other people's gardens - I adore the scent of lilacs.
Wow! I think those are the prettiest lilacs I've ever seen!! I bet they smell sooooo good!

I LOVE Lilacs as well. Ours has done blooming now. Such sunbathing pictures. Lots of rain and wind here. All the Columbines in the garden have tumbled over, such a pity. Luckily we have your gorgeous garden to enjoy still ;)

So gorgeous! I can almost smell them. Have a lovely weekend Bella.
These are just the loveliest photos of your abundant lilacs. What a year! You must be thrilled. That is a fabulous basket you show them in too! Happy Day!xx
Hi Bella, I am really pleased to read that you also garden organically! It is so much better for the environment and I believe better and much safer for the gardener as well.
Your lilacs are sooo... pretty! Love the photos with the basket.
As usual a wonderful post!
Have a nice day!

Bella the lilacs are so beautiful and your photos are so gorgeous. I love how you displayed them in the baskets. You never disappoint me with your talent of display and beautiful home and garden.
Oh, the sweet scent of lilacs is wonderful. You will thoroughly enjoy it throughout the house and garden!
How beautiful. I can just imagine that scent.
So beautiful!
Almost can feel its fragrance!

Love this post. I had lilacs last year. They lasted a few weeks until the person who volunteered to mow our lawn for me mowed them all down. I was devastated.

Beautiful colours of lilacs. I'm glad to see you believe in "feed the soil, not the plants" too.
Bella, your lilacs are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing these marvellous flowers

Your baskets of lilac blooms are gorgeous. I wish I could grow them here, but no luck.
Happy Pink Saturday. Thank you for joining us this weekend, and for making Pink Saturdays special.

I can feel the wonderful smell...
Good soil is very important, and everything takes time in the garden.
Beautiful Lilacs Bella. Just like everything in your amazing garden.
