Hyacinth madness.

Headache grey skies again.

Does the grey weather leave you feeling a bit flat? Are you starting to daydream about April showers and yet it is only January? I have a cure for your winter blahs. The Hyacinth.

Hyacinth madness on Broadview!

Yes, the hyacinth is out in full force in sidewalk flower shops, grocery stores and even hardware stores. White, pink, purple, you chose.

Not yet in bloom!

Their intoxicating scent will announce their presence long before you see them. The heady fragrance will transport you to lush flowering fields, warm sunshine and the promise of spring. Your shoulders will drop an inch.

Springtime on a winter's day

I seem to recall Hyacinths being available at Easter most years, but here they are in January, ready to combat your rainy day blues!  Place them in a window and let the fragrance fill your house and remind you that the days are getting longer and that spring is around the corner. (Ok, the corner is a few blocks away, but you get the picture.) All this for about $6.00. Better than a trip to the spa!
