Hyacinthus Orientalis

*Availability- January, February, March, April, November and December.

*Colors- White, Blue, Lavender, Purple, Pink, Magenta, Peach and Yellow.

One of my favorite flowers is hyacinth (wait I say that for way too many flowers). The smell is intoxicating and STRONG so if you are allergic to flowers, this one would not be good for you to be around.

This is one of the many flowers I have the honor of working with in the springtime. I love to use them along with lots of other spring flowers, they make a powerful statement.

One more thing- I love to wire individual blooms and either accent a bouquet with them or make them into boutonnieres.

Also known as Cherry, Pear and Quince.

*Availability- January, February, March, April and half of May.

*Special Care- obtain branches early because opening may take as long as 5 days.

Flowering branches are one of those flowers that have a short season. We really have to enjoy them while they are here because they are so seasonal and seem to go away so fast. I love these made two different ways- 1. all alone in a really tall vase or 2. adding them to a lush arrangement of flowers, sticking out of the arrangement slightly to give it a larger more full look.

Here they are in a vase all by themselves, so simple and so pretty.

Happy Spring!
