Here, as promised, photos of my gorgeous hyacinth.
M. says they were really cheap from Tesco but I think they are wonderful.
The little florets are a delicate, lilacy blue with a waxy, velvety smoothness.
Three bulbs have produced four stems of blooms and their perfume fills my house. I know lots of folk find it over powering and it even causes hay fever like symptoms for some.
I wonder if I can use them as inspiration for my craft work. Maybe a wisp or two of silk might "dumf" nicely - watch this space!

HI, so beatiful and great photoghaphy , I can actually smell them!. I lived in on the Isle of angelsey for 7 years, so we have done a reverse ,me to yorks and you wales, there was no need to move just because I came back!!!!best wishes Linda. Ps ... your very talented love your cards...
Superb photography!
They are such a beautiful flower both in colour and fragrance.
I think having a scent even if a little strong is better than most flowers that we buy these days that have no scent at all!
Looking forward already to seeing how they influence you!

they really are beautiful blooms... great shots of them....
I love the scent of hyacinths, but they are hard to buy over here. Proper florists are REALLY expensive and the supermarkets sell flowers in rather odd bouquets...
I love hyacinths ..... but they make me sneeze, so I can't have them in the house!!
Not quite sure how I found you but I just LOVE blue hyacinths - they remind me of my Mum. Great photos - I really must get myself a better camera (a bad workman.....!!)
How could I resist that challenge!
Good to meet you. And what fantastic photos I can almost smell them from here.
They are such evocative plants of childhood memories when we grew them in glass containers in the cupboards at school.
They're beautiful Twiglet, I can almost smell them ;)
