Hyacinth Macro

Many of the regular readers of this site are gardeners, or gardener wannabe’s. Everyone seemed to love my close up photo of the coral colored Hyacinth in one of my recent posts.

I bet you didn’t know that I took it a step further and got even closer. Hyacinth flowers are each less than once inch wide, perhaps as small as half an inch wide. Here’s an extreme closeup of one single hyacinth blossom:

I got as close to the flower as I could and used the zoom function on my camera. Once I downloaded the photo to my computer I cropped the photo until I got the image you see above.

Interesting? Too close?

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?
