Here is my entry for today’s Flower of the Day Photo Challenge, the hyacinth.

This is the perfect flower to showcase for me because I actually picked this blue hyacinth up from Trader Joe’s grocery store in honor of National Plant a Flower Day, on March 12.

Here is its growing progression in which the second photo was taken 1 week later, when it really blossomed and became so amazingly fragrant.

Let me know if you participated in this challenge and if you’re growing any starters for this coming season in the comments below!
