The Little Hyacinth that Could

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

I never used to be into gardening, but now that we have our own garden it is suddenly fun!  It is like a big science experiment!  And it looks pretty too.  I have been very excited about our spring bulbs coming up:

The most interesting part about all this was that I noticed the other day that one of our hyacinths appeared to be on the ground.  I was furious at first because I thought that our evil neighborhood bunnies had struck again.  Upon taking a closer look though, I noticed that it had actually somehow sprouted and bloomed underground and had just now pushed it’s way to the surface.

Pretty cool!
