Hyacinths

... and Lowacinths!

A week ago, this big blue specimen was as stunted and misshapen as its pink siblings, then suddenly it thrust upwards and bloomed. Perhaps today's rain will bring on the pink ones; it's hardly stopped all day. Sun tomorrow (fingers crossed) and then I think that's our lot till the weekend.

Thanks on behalf of the chessmen for all the stars and compliments yesterday!
