Flowers make me happy any season, but there is something especially heartwarming about having flowers in the winter time.
Hyacinth has been one of my favorite flower around this time of the year. They are highly fragrant, so perhaps not suited for some people, but definitely a lovely flower for those who enjoys all aspects of flowers.
Here they are, beautiful in white. ( I much prefer this white to white of snow!!)
For us florists, winter in NY creates a lot of extra concerns at times. Shipments can be affected by the weather, the freezing temperature would require extra caution for delivery, etc. etc.
So the flowers are indeed precious and treated especially as such! Ahh the winter challenge...
Stay warm everyone!
