Grape Hyacinths!

This was certainly a good year for bulbs around the yard.  I think the cold and very wintery weather somehow encouraged the bulbs to have a better than normal display this spring.  Or the frost just heaved them closer to the soil surface....

Have a marvelous weekend everybody!  I'm looking forward to a meet-up with Nora at the Sow's Ear in Verona tomorrow.  On my way home I'll be searching for vegetable plants and compost for the garden.  I usually start tomatoes and annual herbs from seeds but was too darn stressed lazy to do it this year.  Wish me luck in finding some nice plants!

I love the grape hyacinths, those have done beautifully in my garden from day one. I've added some bicolor and white ones as well. Bulbs need a certain number of "chill hours" to bloom and they'll certainly do better after a cold winter. I'm glad you mentioned the veg plants, I needed to add that to my own list.
