Gypsy Queen Hyacinth

Coral Hyacinth

Coral Hyacinth

I think I’m in love with my hyacinths this year. They are all so very lovely and the scent that they’ve produced has just been wafting into my home on nice days when we have windows and screen doors open. One of the joys of spring and growing scented flowers I suppose.

I took this photo last Sunday. I believe that the name of this hyacinth is “Gypsy” or something like that. It’s just gorgeous. I must buy more of them as I’ve only got a few in that color.

You know, every time I look at one of my photos of a hyacinth I can smell them. Isn’t it funny how the mind works? Do photos of scented flowers or pictures of foods you love do that to you?

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

    Those are truly beautiful! When I see pictures of food, I can taste it.

    The hyacinths looks beautiful!

    It’s an interesting subject you put up here and shows that our mind is collecting memories using all our senses. As we think in pictures, that’s how our brain store our experiences too. The best example, and you of course know;
    If you say; Don’t spill milk – what picture is brought to your attention? 🙂 It also prof that it’s hard to recall negatively.

    Tricia, that is a truly gorgeous photo! Beautiful. A burst of peachy-pink. I am not yet to the point where I can smell flowers when I see their photo, but I definitely have that experience with food photos.

    My hyacinths aren’t in bloom yet. Yes, certain memories can evoke a reaction from me.

    That is an amazing picture! I only wish my plants could grow like that and that I could take such high quality photos when they did! That’s a double win for you.
