That they've taught my eye to slow down and notice. Even slower I must go. <br /><br />I, too, love the scent of the hyacinth.Midlife Roadtripperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700277803842883251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-57970787004184179482011-04-28T06:33:18.502-07:002011-04-28T06:33:18.502-07:00Lovely post.

Even more curiously, it didn't strike me at the time that it might be a mating ritual, but I see now that it very well might have been. Once again, I am so pleased to have visited.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-72695815486067640992011-04-28T01:39:54.687-07:002011-04-28T01:39:54.687-07:00We too have little groups of "retired" ...We too have little groups of "retired" hyacinths in the garden.

I always plant out my hyacinths in the garden after flowering - I just can't bear to waste them, and it's amazing how long they do go on looking pretty at a time of year when there isn't much else around.<br /><br />Pomona xPomonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399181139470676975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-28682704326466789932011-04-27T12:05:07.024-07:002011-04-27T12:05:07.024-07:00I have several hyacinths too, near a path and step...I have several hyacinths too, near a path and steps to our front gate. When they start to bloom, I always say: "Hiya! Cynth!" in greeting. Every year their flowers are so heavy and the stalks so short that they fall over like fainting soldiers on a parade ground! Thanks for all the research and interesting details!Jane Moxeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03771039102502842946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-62558909657542482892011-04-27T11:12:51.574-07:002011-04-27T11:12:51.574-07:00Like many of your readers, the smell of winter hya...Like many of your readers, the smell of winter hyacinths in the house is beautiful. My three pots with nine bulbs have been out on the patio for a few weeks now and I'm waiting for the leaves to die down and you have inspired me to plant them up; I couldn't decide whether or not to recycle them. <br />XXRarelesserspottedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865928245970626612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-72603878047331719112011-04-27T09:36:57.881-07:002011-04-27T09:36:57.881-07:00I love the smell of hyacinths.

They still retain some of their scent.Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357761230206692089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-31571795472005974132011-04-27T08:03:13.427-07:002011-04-27T08:03:13.427-07:00What a wonderful post today.

I must Google that.<br />"I put them into the garden - into the bottom of the hedge with the primroses and the cowslips." <br />What a beautiful sentence. <br />I so agree with your last paragraph.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-14586213040750944812011-04-27T08:00:33.533-07:002011-04-27T08:00:33.533-07:00What a fascinating myth about the hyacinth Pat.

Among my mother's papers was a handwritten poem - 'Leisure' by William Henry Davies - which my father had copied down. You will know that the first two lines are -<br />'What is this life if full of care<br />we have no time to stand and stare?' I always try to make time to stand and stare.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-34413918386848209392011-04-27T07:08:07.349-07:002011-04-27T07:08:07.349-07:00What a lovely post!
