Today's Flowers #80 Hyacinths
Hyacinths in our garden, April 2010
Thanks go to the Today's Flowers team for their hard work in hosting and organising this meme. Look here to enjoy more beautiful blooms around the world.
I noticed your profile picture. You are sitting wearing what some people in the U.S. might think of as a Burger King crown. I recognize it, though, as the English cracker paper crowns.
Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog. You have some lovely photos here too. And yes, I did go in my sparkly shoes. They're so old that they're ridiculously comfortable!
I like the close-up pictures of your hyacinths.

My sister-in-law is from England; she gave us several English crackers one year.
Linda - that made me laugh! You're right - my 'crown' came from a Christmas cracker! (Time I changed my profile photo, I think ;-))
