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?

Blue Iris

I found these blooming in my garden bed this weekend. I used to have several clumps of these, but the rest seem to have disappeared or else they are coming up slower than this clump of blue iris that happens to be in a very sunny portion of the garden.

I just love how delicate the petals look. Each petal is so thin, and fine, with shades of other colors within.

I made a new friend in the last week. His name is Jordan and he’s from Poland. He’s an absolutely amazing photographer, as you can see from the photo that I’ve chosen to use for todays post.

Jordan has given me permission to use some of the photos that he’s sent me on my sites, so you’ll see a smattering of his photos today if you visit our other sites in your travels. You can also read a post that I wrote on Tuesday to introduce Jordan to all of my blogging friends.

Happy Wednesday, and Happy Valentines day!
