after the April showers…

Lemony-buttery hyacinths in our condominium’s courtyard garden. A daily dose of spring colour.

Beautiful! I didn’t see anyone around here with this pretty color. Most people had pink and purple.

Pink and purple are pretty, but yellow gives me a lift on rainy April days. Thanks for stopping by, Kristi, and enjoying the hyacinths with me.

Like the photographs. I could not do without my daily dose of natures stars.
But as I say on my website:

My garden IS my space. I cannot claim the garden as mine; I am only borrowing it from Mother Nature. One day she will take it back but for now she is letting me pretend that it is mine to fashion to my liking.

Keep up the good work

Hello Rodger, Tabatha and Misti. Thanks for your comments.

Rodger — what a great gardening motto; so true

Tabatha — yes, I think it’s worth saving some room for this bulb when you plan your fall planting.

Misti– I agree about being tempted to eat these blossoms. I can see then on a cake.
