The flowerbeds have a border of Muscari.
Commonly known as Grape Hyacinth.
It is my favorite of all the bulbs.
These small, non-showy flowers are spectacular in mass.
In the early 1980's I dug a few hundred out of a ladies yard.
I have propagated them all these years.
As I clean the leaves in the beds I give the border a haircut.
I am spending time with my hyacinth.

As always, your photos are mind-blowing! The fragrance of grape hyacinth is a spring-bringer for sure. They grew at the first house I bought decades ago and sitting in their scent indicated the approach of the next favorite - lilacs. It is said that our nose remembers as much as our brain and I'm inclined to believe.
Lovely site!
Dear Tumblewords,
I too believe scent is the most powerful tool of memory. My Father had a rose garden. I can still remember the scent of his roses, drifting on the breeze, while playing on the front porch. I grow many different flowers for natural indoor scent.
I was wondering how I could share the Muscari. It is a small flower and I was not sure how I would photograph them. Having the bee as a character in this series was helpful!
I am pleased you enjoy the photos. I do love to take them.
Sherry
