Bye-ya!

The hyacinths in the side are starting their decline.  Yesterday, they were leaning into the sidewalk and house like insouciant youth.  Today (which is much colder) they are a little bit more upright, like their grape hyacinth friends.  I love the way the grape hyacinths look like 18th-century wigs.  Sadly, not even the grape hyacinths looking so good can stop the inevitable decline of the hyacinths.

In stark contrast, the hyacinth in the front yard is still barely out of the ground, let alone in bloom or declining.

Maybe I should get more hyacinths for next year, too.
