Isn't this hyacinth pretty! I am absolutely fascinated by it. I was inspired to learn how to force hyacinths in water after seeing Jane Brocket's photos of her hyacinths on her blog yarnstorm and in her book The Gentle Art of Domesticity. Jane's book was published in England (where she lives) a few months ago and, I am happy to report, STC will be publishing it in the United States next fall. Thanks, Jane, for teaching me about hyacinths and for trusting STC with your book. (And thanks, Suzan, for insisting I check out Jane's blog in the first place.)
