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?

What’s happening in your garden?

So tell me – what’s blooming in your garden? I keep telling you what I’ve been seeing in mine but I haven’t heard that much about your gardens.

I know that at this time of year, at least in my garden, I can go outside daily and see something new. Whether it’s a plant that’s grown an extra few inches or one that’s developed buds or is blooming, there’s always something happening.

What’s going on in your garden?

Is anyone creating new flower beds?

The garden is … Alive

I had a busy day on Monday. I had to go to a doctors appointment and then after that my husband and I ended up going shopping for some much needed supplies.

I had hoped to take a good tour of my garden but it was late in the day when we returned home so I didn’t take as good a look around as I’d hoped too.

I can tell you that my Siberian iris’ are beginning to sprout leaves in my front boulevard flower bed. So are several tulips, Sedum, and the chives in the back garden. I’ve also noticed that my Blue Fescue grass in my front flower bed is greening up in the center – already! It’s so early for that to be coming back to live.

Yellow and purple crocus’ are blooming their heads off on my front and back lawns.

Overall it seems that many of my plants are waking up.

Unfortunately it’s supposed to rain all day here in Toronto. If it clears a bit perhaps I’ll go out into the back yard garden and begin to tidy up the beds. I’m sure that there are many plants poking through the soil that I just haven’t noticed yet because dead leaves and other autumn related debris are covering them.
