Back in November, I planted some bulbs in pots. I’m not sure how they are supposed to grow here, but they have been slowly emerging. The amaryllis plants have tall flower stalks now. I wonder when they will open.

One of the hyacinths has open flowers! I smell it often. It is the smell of spring.

I am so glad you get to be in places that nourish your plant-loving soul, especially in the doldrums of winter. The only thing blooming around here is frost.
