We have a standard lilac which is about 3 years old in the garden .
Last
year it was covered in flowers at this time but this year it hasn't a
single
bud! The lilac looks very healthy and has put on a lot of new growth
but no
hint of any flower buds. We haven't moved it or treated it any
differently
so what could be the matter with it?

It is probably due to pruning at the wrong time as described in this
site:
