Flower for the Day Hyacinth 4-11-18

Today was our first warm day. I got out our deck furniture.

Here are several stages of our hyacinths. It has not been easy on them.

They bloomed some time ago.

Nature caught up with them.

But they bounced back beautifully.

Their most endearing feature is that when brought inside their pungent fragrance fills the surroundings.

Hyacinths to Feed Thy Soul -

by Sadi

If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft,

And from thy slender store two loaves alone to thee are left,

Sell one, and with the dole

Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.
