At this time of year while we are awaiting spring, I like to purchase potted Hyacinths from my local grocery store. After they have bloomed, I plant the bulbs in the front flower bed where they will get the first warm rays of sun the next year. My favorite color of Hyacinth is a carmine coral but they are hard to find. So I get blue and standard pink ones.
I love how these bulbs look with mercury glass.
And, of course, the smell they provide for the house is just wonderful.
I always take advantage of the short time they are available because they are so heavenly.
All the best,
Summer,
