Blue hyacinth in bud.

… I’m going to be a hyacinth!

♥♥♥

Beautiful blue hyacinth in bud just outside my front door.  Spring is on its way!

    Not here, it isn’t! It’s lovely to see such a vivid flash of colour, since I’ve been surrounded by misty grey all day!

      We have blue, white, pale pink and deep pink Helena. But they are all outside and none of them is yet giving off the beautiful fragrance you have in your home.

    Wow. I have never seen a hyacinth with so deep blue color. Its color is near the same than our car is. :) Your photos are enjoyable!

      Thank you Matti. I have just visited your blog and seen your hyacinth blue car! Yes, it’s as though you bought it to match my hyacinth. :)

      This is just a budding hyacinth. If you want to see some in full bloom I did a post here.
