White Hyacinths, Italicus, and One Very Refined Paperwhite

Published Sunday, January 07, 2007 by Chris | E-mail this post

Those are all that I see blooming in front of me right now. All are white, or shades of, and the Narcissus italicus has a little yellow cup. What's amazing is that this is a time of year when people give up on their gardens, and these beauties can really make a nice display. Unfortunately still in College Station waiting for my luggage (2 days late) to arrive from San Francisco and then it's down to San Antonio to pick up Fischer (if he even remembers me). Had to borrow a tie for a wedding at a beautiful Presbyterian church in Navasota, Texas yesterday. On the side of the church is a memorial garden for Pam Puryear, perhaps the most notable "rose rustler" of this era.
