Lush delicious fragrance all around
Nectar sips spilling on the ground
Petals floating carpeting the verdant earth
Flowering trees sigh and swell in their girth.
Its a double! ... out of the park! Blooming Friday thanks to Roses and Stuff

Very nice Carol. I hope that you are feeling better.
How you must enjoy your surroundings - every day! Thanks for sharing them with us!
Your Lilacs are gorgeous - they remind me of my grandparents' cotage...
Have a great weekend!

Spring is beautiful...but never more beautiful than at Flower Hill Farm.....
It's just beautiful there! I love all of the lilacs.
Incredible! I have never seen anything like it. Where do you live? In paradise?
It was a lot of amazing, stunning and wow's as I went through your pictures Carol.
Thank you for sharing/ Tyra
What gorgeous sunny photographs! Sigh... those Lilacs look wonderful.
What a lovely place you have! Beautiful photos!
Thanks All! I do love my surroundings Katarina especially at Lilac Time... and yes it is a small rustic and rather wild and rambling paradise Tyra ... I love that all the work over the years on the land has created a habitat and that it is filled with wildlife who also call it home. It is magical and a great amount of good and sometimes very hard work. There was a lovely sun rising over the hills 'Sweet Bay', when I took the pictures... so different from the glow of the later afternoon sunlight. Welcome Blair, Catherine and Sue! Thanks Tom my knee seems to be better.
Beautiful blooms and images! I can see why people would enjoy coming here for a retreat. Spending time here among your lovely surroundings would certainly rejuvenate one.
Can only say: Thankyou!
Thank you! Rose and Lillebeth!
Better late than never ;-)
I have never seen Polemonium caeruleum so romantically portrayed.
Would one of those butterflies have settled nearby at the moment you took the picture, perfection had been reached.
Lovely landscape. Do you keep all that grass down? How? Tractor?
Amazing lilacs, do you have a million of them or just a few that you love to show from different angles? Your place must smell heavenly right now! Also, is that Korean Spice viburnum at the top? Another great scent. Lucky you!
You have a lovely setting for you garden, with the rolling hills and lush greenery behind. All the spring flowering shrubs create such pretty bouquets in front of that green.
Thank you Jo! It is a feat to keep things that want to grow tall from doing so around here... decades in the making and still a battle. I hate that ... the battle part... I simply must mow for all the bitter sweet, sumac, tall grasses etc. would take over again. I feel badly mowing and sometimes scream out loud when I go over some little blooming plant that is growing within the paths. I do let milkweed grow as I raise monarch butterflies and care for the caterpillars during their metamorphosis. If I could have goats that would promise not to eat my gardens I would happily farm them here. Still working on how to be more green... eco that is.
Karen thanks for visiting and I do take photos of my lilacs from many viewpoints, stages of their growth... and different light. I have around two dozen or more shrubs of various varieties. Heavenly fragrance now! Not Korean Spice but some other lovely variety I have forgotten ... so sorry about that.
Welcome Northern Shade! Well, yes the setting is our main act... keeping it open... maintaining the views takes me out of my flower beds, which are very overgrown right now. The colors in the hills are ever changing and magical.
