Muscari

The first time I saw muscari (purple hyacinth), they made me catch my breath.



Their rich color is so intense.  Massed together, they make a marvelous sight in a flower garden.

The second time I saw them was at a flower show in Albany, New York.  This time they had been planted with tulips and the color combinations popped and sizzled.

A photograph below, also taken at last year's flower festival, became part of this blog's header.

As previously mentioned in this post,  I found bags of muscari bulbs in a Christmas Tree Shops and just about keeled over with happiness. 


My hubs planted them late last fall in a round flower bed in our front yard.


The muscari have just started to come up as well as the tulips. A couple of the latter have bloomed.

Frost is predicted for Friday night so by the time you read this on Saturday, whether or not the frost zapped the muscari and tulips will have been revealed.


Pansies are supposed to be pretty hardy but, to tell you the truth, I'm also concerned about those little fellas. They could freeze their little petals off in the c-c-c-old temps.

Oh well, can't worry about something over which I have no control cuz that's a waste of time.


All we can do is hope for the best and keep on moving.

P.S. Saturday morning note:  Every flower survived the chilly night! Thanks be to God!

IS THE WEATHER CRAZY WHERE YOU LIVE?
