One day I decided to do some gardening and I dug up hundreds of little "onions" (I thought they were onions!") and I put them to one side. When my husband came home, I told him I had done some weeding (God knows what else I killed!) and he kind of smiled (probably wanted to laugh, but was too kind to do that!)He then explained that those "onions" were the bulbs of grape hycinths (the tiny Spring flowering ones. I replanted them and felt silly. When they flowered, in Spring, they really looked beautiful! Good job I didn't throw them away!<br /> <br />Another little story!<br /> <br />ANNAAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531642906387702641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038564954723006756.post-28666215087108011982011-11-08T14:07:35.521+01:002011-11-08T14:07:35.521+01:00Such a beautiful gift idea.

They do, as you say, make lovely gifts and for choice we should also go for the white ones although, that said, blue is the traditional colour.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
