cheated

For days I have watched the hyacinths 
Growing inch by inch
Slowly unfurling.
I got up this morning to pretty blue flowers
and no scent.

  1. Oh. Are hyacinths supposed to have a scent? I have grape hyacinths that sometimes out grow the snails but I had never noticed a scent. Nice blue, though.

  2. Hyacinths have the most gorgeous scent, it usually fills the room. I think even grape hyacinths have a slight scent.

  4. that's completely not fair! i love the smell of hyacinths, it's a tie between those and lilacs for my favorite.

    at least you can look at them :-)
