Unexpected treasures
A hyacinth isn't just for Christmas.....
Two years ago, George's Mother gave me some hyacinths for my birthday. They had not progressed quickly enough to be actually flowering on the day, but they were lovely when they arrived.
Last year they did not flower, and I put them out on the porch, with a view to making a permanent home for them in one of the beds in the Autumn. Needless to say I forgot them - and this year - I found them giving it another shot, so I thought they deserved to show off in the kitchen.
Here they are emanating the most wonderful perfume, along with such a glorious colour - I would knit with them if I could!
