Despite of a cold season one can always purchase any flower in January but I love spring one especially in my birthday. They tell me that spring will soon come to my garden. Here is a gift received in this morning, I love hyacinth!
My own hyacinths are forced and their stalks are growing now.
I also had a small gift from my friend - it's packets with Blue anemone tubers. She knew I wanted this color anemone in the garden. Thank you, S.!
My family always pleases me cooking dainties at my birthday. Today I've seen my favorite cake with cottage cheese cream, raisins and nuts. There also were choux pastry buns (similar to cream puffs or profiteroles) with whipped cream and of course a cup of fragrant coffee on the table.
Whatever it is, I always invite my loved ones and friends to feast on and, telling the truth, I can not eat a lot of sweets :0) Well, help yourself!
This weekend we'll go to watch the play 'Taming of the Shrew' by William Shakespeare performed by very young actors and then will have a family party. I hope to have fun, oh!

DeleteHappy Birthday Nadezda. I love hyacinths too but it is ages since I grew any - I must put that right!

I love this pot with hyacinths too, Sara. Thank you!
DeleteHappy birthday! I am sure you will like the play. I have seen it several times. Your hyacinths look much better than mine. Have a wonderful day. Groetjes Hetty
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I liked this play because the young actors - former students- performed it perfectly. Thank you Hetty!
DeleteHappy Birthday Nadezda !! Your hyacinths are beautiful !!

DeleteA very happy birthday to you, dear Nadezda! I hope your day is as wonderful as you are. This is a good reminder for me to start bringing my pots of hyacinths inside to enjoy watching them grow to smell the wonderful fragrance of their blooms! Your birthday treats look delicious!

DeleteYour Hyacinths are beautiful. I cannot think of a better birthday present. Mine had 11 weeks of chill in the refrigerator and are planted in pots of soil. I find that a great way to force them.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is Jean. Mine are growing on the windowsill and getting bigger and greener.
DeleteMettere i bulbi in casa è una cosa bellissima! Chissà che profumo i giacinti :)
ReplyDeleteUn saluto :)
Yes, pontos, hyacinth is very fragrant inside. Thanks for stopping by!

Gracias, Ines!
DeleteBelated happy birthday! I love hyacinths, but they give me a sore throat so I have stopped growing them indoors and instead I enjoy them at other people's houses. I still get the sore throat, but it clears once the beautiful hyacinths and I part company. The fragrance is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure one day hyacinth and you Sarah part company!Thank you!
DeleteDear Nadezda, sorry I missed your birthday, it’s 10 days ago but these days I don’t get to read all the blogs I follow the day people are posting so I am often reading them much later. Anyway, hope you had a lovely celebration with your family and friends – loved the hyacinths, mine in the garden are almost flowering now :-)
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to apologize Helene, I know you're very busy with your plants now. Thank you!
