Last Thursday, I bought a pink hyacinth for spring, thinking of the poem:
“If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store
Two loaves alone to thee are left,
Sell one, and with the dole,
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.”
~ Musharish-Ud-Din Sadi
My hyacinth is blooming now, and it perfumes the room, and my soul is uplifted whenever I pass by it.
I love the smell of hyacinths and oriental lilies like Stargazer and Casablanca.
What flowers do you love the fragrance of?
