Going a Different Direction

barb brookbank, kim klassen, anna aspnes,

I just can’t get over the twisting and turning of this hyacinth.

When I bought this plant, it was about 5 inches tall and very compact. I wondered if the flowers would even open up because the blooms were so small and tight.

But what did I know? This hyacinth is just doing what hyacinths do best and it’s happy about it.

I’m inspired.

    What a beautiful flower! And you did a great job capturing something that’s white in color – I always have trouble getting good photos of white objects.

    The whiteness is amazing! Beautiful! (I had a purple one….they are fascinating flowers, aren’t they?)

    We can learn a lot from the hyacinth. It doesn’t care what the other hyacinths are doing…it’s listening to the beat of its own inner drummer. Something I need to do more often. Thanks for the reminder!
