I finally got round to planting this year's indoor hyacinth bulbs, bought locally a couple of weeks ago. I love blue hyacinths growing in the house at this time of year. At present the flowers are chubby lumps, tiny pearls of white, blue and green compressed above each bulb. They've been sitting in the shed for a while and are now ready to move into the house. I spent half an hour at dusk planting them into old brass planters, discovered on a jam packed street corner bazzaar in Valetta many moons ago. In two or three weeks time, their beautiful blooms and heavenly scent will be wafting down the hallway, transforming the space with their Vermeer newness and beauty.
