The furry catkins of Pussy Willow emerge with daffodils in full bloom in the background. A stormy start to March here in West Wales. Heavy rain and strong winds but nature gets on with what it does best at this time of year.

After the cold spell in Freilassing, this is what it looked like on May 6th, 2019...The Lattengebirge in the Berchtesgaden Alps in the background.
Spring in Denge Woods.
Today is a trip to Canterbury and maybe Maidstone for the big Arctic cruise shop!
The name Hyacinth comes from the Greek Hyakinthos, a handsome young man who in Greek mythology was loved by the sun god Apollo.
One day they were practicing throwing the discus but the jealous god of the West Wind, who was also in love with Hyakinthos, blew the discus back and it fatally wounded him.
From his blood grew a flower which the god Apollo named after him.
The bulbs were first brought to Western Europe in the 16th century and were first cultivated in Austria in the 1500's.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, like the tulip, it was to be found only in the collections of very rich flower collectors.
Because of the hyacinth's pervasive perfume (used in perfumery in France), the bulbs were exorbitantly expensive.
Their heady fragrance, their delicacy and their inimitable spring feeling make them very desirable.
Have a fine day and thank you for your support, M, (*_*)
