We have some white Roman hyacinths blooming in the field. Some of our first came from the little town of Cameron, Texas. I remember the lady, Mrs. Gonzales, who let us have some. Her father served in World War I. She had some wonderful stories and let us harvest some and replant a row along her sidewalk. A couple years later she had passed away. Somebody else moved into her home and now somebody else lives in it.
The fragrance of white hyacinths is beyond description, and it will lift up any person on a gray winter day such as this one. Smells bring back memories, and it reminds me of my earliest days of bulb hunting. The whites have proven for us to be the most vigorous of the Roman hyacinths, out pacing the pinks and the blues.
