Hyacinth – just beginning to bloom

Ah, the sweet perfume of hyacinth is once more enhancing my backyard. A few of my hyacinth plants started to bloom on Friday and the flowers are just beginning to open.

I love the rich shades of color of these purple hyacinths. They are blue to deep blue in some light and purple at other times. It’s strange, yet beautiful.

Do you enjoy Hyacinths? Do you buy forced plants to have inside in the winter or do you grow them in your garden?
