I picked these lovely Grape Hyacinths yesterday, during the 10 minutes the sun shone through the clouds.
This is my absolute favorite shade of blue..........a vibrant, rich Periwinkle. Aqua and Azure come a close second and third.

It's supposed to be Spring now, but you wouldn't know it by the temperature. The weather report is calling for the snow level to drop to 1000 feet tonight, but do the flowers give a damn? Nope, just one of the pitfalls of a hormonal state.

I too grew up with those grape hyacinths - they're one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI can't even type the 's' word but if I wake up to three inches of partly cloudy on the ground, I might lose it.
Your pics are gorgeous.
Ha! Well, I'll take your 3 inches of partly cloudy, and you can have my perpetual gray limbo......
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And I love the burlap and bling you added to the jar!
