Hyacinths yes, but don't forget Honeysuckle - will be here in a couple of months! I love how you can smell it along the Madison County bike trails (the ones between Edw and Hamel, anyway)!
If you want to smell fragrance go to the Rose Bowl Parade on New Years Day. That is the most enjoyable experience for flower lovers as you sit in the grandstand and smell the roses as the floats parade past you.
And they self-seed, so I haven't planted new ones in several years. A few years ago I had one come up clear across the yard from the original planting. They are wonderful!

ReplyDeleteYup - love that too. Right outside Hamel is a big batch, also lots on the way up to Staunton.

I enjoy coming home each day and smelling my hyacinths. As soon as I walk out of the garage, I can smell them - sweet!
ReplyDeleteOne of my very favorite scents: nicotiana sylvestrus, flowering tobacco. It's night-fragrant. Heavenly!
Ours have been up for almost two weeks and tulips are also up.....Pastor Peters
