The family came over for lunch today and bought Tinkerbell their shitzhu, so after we had eaten, I took her out into the back garden as you do.
The sun was shining and it was quite pleasant outside but also fairly windy. The wind had flattened some hyacinths which only came into flower this week so I decided that I would cut them and bring them inside. Because the flowers are so heavy I didn't think they would be able to stand up straight on their own.
The perfume of the hyacinth and also mahonia are two of the most seductive perfumes of spring and I adore both of them equally. However, I don't have room for mahonia in the garden and the hyacinths are some that I had inside a few years ago which were planted out when they went over. They have been coming up every year since and are flowering as well as they did when they were inside.
Now that I have cut them and bought them in I know that they won't last as long but at least I will have that delicious perfume for a few days.
Happy Easter.
