My lavender is blooming and it looks just lovely.
So beautiful in fact that I decide to crouch down beside a clump of lavender to get this shot. The day was a little bit breezy, just like most days in Toronto seems to be so I had to time my shot carefully as the lavender stocks were moving gently in the wind. Thank god for image stabilizing lenses!
It’s amazing how fragrant just a few of these tiny Lily of the Valley flowers really are. I’ve been trying to grow these plants for a few years and this year several came up in two areas of my garden. The scent carried throughout the whole garden and into the neighborhood.
Do you grow Lily of the Valley?
I have to buy more of this kind of hyacinth. It looks so lovely in the garden next to the rest of the other spring plants with their light green leaves. Oh and the scent! I love the smell of hyacinth blooms.
Purple Hyacinth … this is the first one to bloom in my garden this year. Oh I now have several hyacinths in bloom, but this was the first to fully flower. Isn’t it lovely?
The weather was so nice last week that we had our doors and windows open most of each day. The scent of hyacinth would waft into the house every now and then. So beautiful. I love that scent.
The lighting for this photo could be better. It was a rainy overcast afternoon when I took this photo.
