Indoor bulbs

In a moment of splurging  on gifts for others, I popped some indoor bulb kits into my trolley.  Getting up early in mid-December to plant them I have already been rewarded.

The hyacinths have been and gone - filling the kitchen with lovely scent in the run up to Christmas.

The paperwhites are up and just blooming, not quite in time for Christmas but made it for New Year.

The Amaryllis are sitting on the windowsill next in line.

And finally, hidden away in the alleyway, under the gas meter, are this selection of indoor daffodils, hyacinths and crocus, waiting for their moment to bloom.
