Today’s Flowers #91 Birthday hyacinths

It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and among other things Bethan gave me some hyacinths. The picture below shows how they looked then.

I have had the pleasure of watching them develop . . .

. . . now they are fully out . . .

. . . filling the house with perfume . . .

 . . . a delight for the eyes . . .

 . . . and next year they will bloom in the garden!

Round Robin - Anything in Threes

I came across this meme on Gattina's 'Keyhole Pictures'  and thought it looked fun.

It's Spring in Berkshire, UK, and things are happening in the garden.

Lily of the Valley are emerging from their winter sleep and twirling their way upwards.
