Here’s a little hyacinth love for those of you who still have snow on the ground….
That’s a bumblebee on the right. Wish you could smell these flowers!
Hope your day’s going well.

I miss the flowers. Soon enough we will have our first showing… I hope. Thank you for the reminder.
Martin.
You’re welcome. Thanks for stopping by!
So, so beautiful. I think I love hyacinths because they’re such an in-your-face flower at the close of a long winter. And you’re right…there’s nothing like the scent of them. Beautiful photo.
Thanks, Maura. The scent must be impossible to replicate because I’ve never seen it bottled.
They have planted these purple hyacinth around Macy’s in Herald Square New York – had the pleasure of waiting for my bus in their presence. I took an interesting photo with my camera displaying the juxtaposition of nature and the city – http://yfrog.com/hs4l5hynj
Very cool! Welcome to the blog. 🙂
Lovely color. They smell incredibly nice.
They really do. I think this scent, along with lilacs, evokes spring for me the most.
Exquisitely beautiful color and detail. Today – it’s dark and rainy and miserable. So great to see spring!
Thank you for stopping by! Your blog is wonderful.
Mine are already dead – we must be way ahead of you guys!
Yes, you are definitely ahead of us. I’ve been surprised to see stuff blooming over there so early…thought we had pretty similar weather. We keep having cold days here and there too.
