Hyacinth Evolution

Hyacinth Evolution

 

I planted 15 indoor hyacinths ready for Christmas. Three came into full flower after January 1st, the others are still emerging from the soil.

 

One has yet to burst into life at all. But at least I have a range of hyacinths to choose from.

 

Three different hyacinths are featured here and I should have 3 different colours when they are all finally in bloom. In my mind I had an image I wanted to create but with all the bulbs and different colours maturing at different rates, I'll just have to be happy with what Nature reveals to me, in her timescale not mine.

 

3 are now in flower and the distinctive hyacinth scent is very strong, although the pink version has a very noticeable "oak" smell about it which the red and blue ones don't have.

 

Inspired by the idea of a 52 week project for taking photos of flowers without colour.
