Hyacinth season
February 23, 2007
The ground-hugging spikes of the grape hyacinths have appeared. The daffodils won’t be far behind, though I don’t seem to have as many coming up this year. Perhaps the drought has taken its toll on them.
A wider shot
Tonight at 7 pm is Amy Stewart’s reading at Book People. I wonder if she’ll be handing out flowers to the audience as she has done elsewhere.
I love grape hyacinth. I’ve got some regular (dutch- or whatever they are) bright pink ones coming up right now. I didn’t think they would return year after year, but they have so far.
