My lovely winter hyacinths have finally finished cheering up my mantlepiece, two bloomed for Christmas day, but wilted pretty quickly and seemed to give off very weak scent, this one however has been fab, a subtle perfume not that headache inducing smell which they can sometimes produce. I planted these in November, did the whole hiding them in a cupboard thing like i remember my mum doing when we were young. However i succumbed to the very reasonably priced narcissi and more hyacinths ready potted and waiting to bloom offered at the local shops, so my mantle piece will be colourful again soon. They have been watched over by Fergus atop his toadstool. Fergus is my son's little critter made for him by a friend, you can view more of them at her blog -vicaragequilts.blogspot.co.uk.
