Hyacinthis


"Flowers always make people better...happier...and more helpful:
they are sunshine...food...and medicine for the soul."
*


Our girl brought these beautiful Hyacinthis to me when I was sick..
They are the first I've ever had and am enjoying so much.


" Earth laughs in flowers."
 ~Ralph Waldo Emerson


 "To be overcome by the fragrance of flowers is a delectable form of defeat."
 ~Beverly Nichols

 
"Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities of the world." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1844



"A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books."
~Walt Whitman


" How can one help shivering with delight when one's hot fingers close around the stem of a live flower, cool from the shade and stiff with newborn vigor!"
 ~Colette


" When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, 
and a lily with the other."
 ~Chinese Proverb
*

"Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature."
 ~Gerard de Nerval

 "I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers"
 ~Claude Monet

"Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them."
Eeyore, friend of Winnie the Pooh

    BJ, I loved your quotes along with the flower pictures. These beautifies are very large, it seems, as they are usually a bit smaller in the yard. Maybe these were specially grown just for you!

    These are so beautiful! I had some that came up every year when I lived in Ohio, they were pure white and gorgeous, but these blue ones really pop!

    Happy Monday BJ,
    Beautiful chosen quotes to use in your vivid and pretty photo essay. Hyacinths were my Mom's favorite Spring flower, but her favorite flower was Yellow Roses. I think I read once they too are your favorite color rose. Nice post today, it brought back precious memories.
    xoxo,

    I love hyacinths, Earl finds their scent overpowering, so I seldom get any for the house. The color, the scent, so glorious! Hope you and Mr. S are feeling a bit better?

    Beautiful! Hyacinths always remind me of my sweet mom whenever I smell their lovely scent. I just walked by some in the grocery store on Saturday and they made my heart melt. What a sweetie you have to have given you these when you were not feeling well! Hope you are much better now!

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
