white winter hymnal


A few weeks ago I posted about planting up paperwhites and hyacinths, and wanted to show the fruits of my labours. The paperwhites are blooming and fill the house with a gorgeous scent. The hyacinths are just starting out, but the roots are good and strong, so they should do well. One failed to sprout, so I'll replace it and stagger the blossoms throughout the winters, which is no bad thing. A second lot of paperwhites need to get planted now as the current ones should see us through Christmas and the new year, but not the dim days of January...
