Are the hyacinths blooming where you live yet? Two have started to bloom here in (my small part of) Kentucky. They make me so happy. They smell so sweet. I wish they were candy. That’s how sweet they smell.
For those unfamiliar, here they are:

The daffodils are just starting their blooming, too–mainly the miniature ones. The larger ones haven’t started yet and the tulips are mostly still asleep.

That would never appear in RHP.
I can live with that.
Jim can’t.
I have some crocus blooming. Tulips are starting to come up and I can see the peonies starting to come up too. I have a few hyacinth but they’re not up yet.
I just opened a Tupperware container that has been in my seed drawer all winter where I stored a few very tiny potatoes from last summer’s garden. They have a ton of roots, so I’m going to put them in a pot, and if we get a spell where we are going to be above freezing I’ll put them outside on the porch. They won’t be going outside this week though - it’s supposed to turn colder and snow a bit.
For those of you who like to dress up paper dolls in the latest fashions from the Montgomery Ward catalogue, here’s you a Hyacinth and Richard set. Just print it on some card stock, cut it out, and let the fun times ensue.
Walden scores. It took a whole 7 posts to make the reference.
No hyacinths, but the bougainvillia (sp) have been in bloom since I arrrived here, 7 months ago. I almost started to take them for granted until I saw this post, then stepped into the courtyard to marvel again.
Thanks!
