HYACINTHS

Doesn't everyone love the smell of a hyacinth? I do, and my favourites are of the blue variety.



Back in September, after buying a few plants from a catalogue, I acquired a free bag of bulbs, and back in October I placed three on the top of old jam-jars, filled almost to the rim with water.

From this ...



... to this.

I lost one to rot, but the remaining two are now in flower, and smell bloomin' lovely.

    I was disappointed with the ones that I grew to look at but the scent was lovely. I shall try again next year! Flighty xx

    I love the way they look but they make me sneeze and give me a sore throat - what a wuss !!
