flower power

new year flowers 005

The bouquet of lime green, acid yellow and orange flowers that M bought for me for Christmas, some of my favourite colours, has been cut down and tidied up.

However today in Morrison’s they were unpacking potted hyacinths at £1.25 for 3 bulbs. I always buy loads, for home and displays in the shop or at fairs, and then plant them out later.

  3. The hyacinths look so full of promise in the pretty bowls - I can almost imagine the scent in a few weeks time! With the addition of tulips, this post has made me feel that winter will soon be over and spring is on its way!

  4. I love the bowls that you've put your hyacinths into. It was like a horizontal monsoon here today, so it is lovely to think of Spring.
