Our white #lilac tree is now over 8 feet tall.
I originally #propagated this from a small cutting, taken for free from a construction demolition site, 10 yrs ago.
It smells fabulous 🥰
Domestic bliss at #LikaLodge : It’s #raining. I made a bed for the #Dog. #Bike is here too, covered a bit. #Fireplace & #tea. This morning I had breakfast at sunrise, under #Lipa / #Linden . Earlier I made a room-divider from a #patchwork curtain I got at #DeGrowth conference last year. Memories & fantasies… plus enjoying the moment!
I’ve used this heart-shaped hole in the rain pattern to go for a walk near #LikaLodge & I had a great time with the #Dog ! We found a beautiful #lilac bush , so tonight my bedroom will have delicious smell…. 🪻💐🌸
When we bought the house in 2019, there was an old lilac in the corner of the yard that was half-dead and barely flowered. After several years of careful pruning, it's alive, happy, and flowering.
Today on the #PhotoBlog: five recent photos of the irresistible annual bloom of Ceanothus tomentosus (Woolly Leaf Ceanothus, sometimes also called California Lilac), which colors the hillsides blue with its beautiful little flower clusters.
Do you have any special memories with lilac flowers? When I see lilacs, I think about my childhood, my grandmother's name day (her name was Zofia) in May, when the lilacs were in full bloom. So many good memories. Maybe this photo will bring back your good memories, too.
Lilacs! Who doesn't love lilacs? The biggest fans of these beautiful flowers will certainly be interested in purchasing prints. I really hope they will...
This is my official year of flowers thread, a mini-project to give myself a little bright every day.
Everyday is a picture of a flower that I started in June. I was planning to automate this thread but I still haven't gotten around to it so manual it is.
They are all posted to my homepage first and you can see them all in one place here -
