#prettyinpink 💕💕💕

Pink perfection Kerry 🌸🌸

@pelly surprising how much detail they have up close 💕💞💕

@hkyfvr isn’t it just 💗 the colours really stand out on a cloudy day 💓

The colours are gorgeous and so vibrant 🌸🌸

There is a house not far from mine that has a border edging the footpath full of pink hyacinths, it looks spectacular. I think I’m going to pinch the idea for my front next year 🌸

@pelly I bet that looks and smells amazing 😍 a great idea to borrow 😉

@gjones the perfect pink 💕💞💞

It does 💗

Scraggly looking mixed pot 😜 #hyacinth

😂😂👍🏻

Such pretty colours. 😍

Pretty colours though. Quite a few of mine are straggly too 💗💙💗

I'm loving the mix of color😊

#colorcombo #colourcombo

Gorgeous colours 💜💗💙

You get a lot of drama with a hyacinth 😂

@ublaszko they’re way too top heavy 🙈

@hkyfvr thank you Diane ☺️

@pelly thanks Jane 😊 hopefully they’ll puff up a bit still 🤞🏻

@cowdenkyle thank you Kyle 😀 just need a white one to set them off 😋

#hyacinth

Looking fabulous 👌

Love their honk 👃💜💗

Love the mix of colours 🤍💖💙

Lovely

Wow they look really good and so pretty 😊😊the scent from them is amazing!! My favourite aroma from a flower 💕💕💙💙

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😀

@gardengimp it’s so strong though 😜

@pelly thank you Jane 😃

@juliesgarden thank you Julie 😄

@midnightgardener thanks Christine 😁 it’s lovely but gives me headache 😂 too strong 😜

@kez001uk Oh dear that's a shame 😥

#hyacinth

Beautiful 😍

Lovely pic❤️

Very pretty photo 😊😊♥️♥️💙💙

@jeatacake thank you Jeff ☺️

@Navydsouza thanks Navy 😁

@midnightgardener thank you Christine 😄

@gjones thanks Katy ☺️

#hyacinth

Love the peach coloured one 🍑🍑🍑

Wow! Now these are in another league 👌😍

Ooooo.... lovely colours Kerry 😍

@cyndi thank you Cyndi 😊 looking a little sparse compared to the past couple of years though 😐

@dirtgirlworld thanks Maggie ☺️ the white set off every other colour I think 🤍

@gjones thank you Katy 😁

@pelly that’s my favourite too 🧡

@jeatacake I’ll swap ya! Prefer your jewel-coloured ones 😋 plus these look like they have a fraction of the blooms as last year 😖

@Davidward thanks David 😄 they’re a pretty combination when they get going 😍

Never thought of them being jewel coloured. I still prefer yours, so you're on! 😄

@cyndi they probably do and also they’re not fully open yet so was getting a bit ahead of myself 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

#hyacinth

Looking so good 👍💛💜

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😀 seem a lot later than everyone else’s but glad they’ve made an appearance 😁 not looking forward to the scent though. Toooooo strong for me 🤣

Mine are a fraction behind yours. These look so clean & perfect 😍 They can certainly be a bit overpowering in confined space. Not so bad outdoors 🤔

@jeatacake we will have matching flowers 😁 think the pot is too tall for munchers thankfully 😂

Might give mine another few days before exposing them here! 😄 I don't tend to see much attack them here. Maybe they just eat other things instead! 😧

@jeatacake just read a bad freeze is on the way so beware 🥶 if only they left everything else alone too 😜

😧 I was going to start potting up my tomato seedlings tomorrow in the greenhouse 😨 It's funny how slugs & snails never seem to eat weeds! 🤔

@jeatacake might still be ok since there’s no sign of frost on my local weather. 🤣 so true! They’d be our best garden mates if they ate the rubbish! 🤣

Hope so, but will still have the little candles on stand by! Ha ha ha. Maybe we could train them? 😂

@jeatacake I always have one ready to go now, just in case 😛 slimer army camps! 😅

Ha ha, just imagine it. We cod be onto something here 😂🐌

Released my butterflies on Sunday but this little one hung around for a while 😁 #wildlifewednesday

That was nice!🤗🤗😊💕

Gorgeous Kerry....

Must of liked your garden 🦋🦋🦋

What kind of butterfly is this, Viceroy?

@terrimclaughlin wish they’d all stayed 😅

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine ☺️ all 5 were so gorgeous. Want more now but they’re £12 for 5 caterpillars! 😱

@kylers I hope so cos I don’t see too many in my garden. Hopefully will see more now 🤞🏻

@ecoami it’s a painted lady 😊🦋

Oh ok that’s awesome! I raised my first monarchs last summer so I understand the passion!

@ecoami monarchs 😍 wow! Must have been incredible watching those evolve ❤️ I’m very tempted to do it again, will have to do some research about butterflies native to my area. Will you be raising more?

It may just stay near mum 😉 Beautiful photo 😍🦋

Very beautiful photo! 🙂👍

@david71 thank you so much David 😁

Fantastic, I've used these kits with different aged children and they all love it ☺

What a proud moment!! 😊

I missed the memo on this one.... butterfly kits ???

@anges it really has been fascinating to watch. Don’t think you are ever too old to watch nature happen ☺️

@LyndaClack thanks Lynda 😁 3 weeks from baby caterpillar to full grown butterfly - was incredible to watch the whole process. Even watched one emerge from its chrysalis 🤩

@bluefox23 I got a little attached to them 🙈😂 didn’t wanna let them go 😥

@sherrisgarden you can buy them from insectlore.com and it’s such a great idea! Loved watching them transform, truly fascinating gift ☺️

I'm gonna have to research it Kerry. Thanks for the info. ,😎

Some lovely photographs again Kerry 😊 @kez001uk

Oh I should imagine their scent is gorgeous 💜💖💜

@cyndi couldn’t agree more ☺️🦋

A great early sighting 👍👍

Lovely pic!

@pelly was surprised to see it already and even more surprised that it was still long enough for a couple of photos 😅

@gjones thanks Katy 💜

@jeatacake thank you Jeff 😁

Very welcome Kerry

Hyacinths are so pretty and they smell amazing too! Cant wait for mine to come up again 💙

Beautiful purple Kerry x

@st3ph they really are! Packed full of tiny flowers and the smell drifts so far too 😍 won’t be long til you see yours 😁

@gavy thank you 😁 it’s my favourite so far 😋

@kez001uk you awake could do with someone to talk too

@wtwitchell6969 everything ok?

@kez001uk don’t think so becky was rushed into hospital I just need to talk to someone. It’s started of with an asthma attack. But they say they have to check for a small bleed in the brain. I no I shouldn’t be on here but I new you would be up

@wtwitchell6969 I’m so sorry to hear that 😔 I’m sure she’ll be ok though. She’s in the best place and they can deal with anything that she’s going through 🙂 must be scary for you all

@gjones thanks Katy 😁 it gets prettier every day. And the fragrance 😍

Very pretty. Mine were a little scraggly but sure smelled good.

@lesliecole49 thanks Leslie ☺️ the smell is gorgeous isn’t it 💕

What a shade of pink 💕💕

@cyndi thanks Cyndi 😁 prettier for having a rare bit of sun on her 😂

@suerichards thank you Sue ☺️

@cyndi too bad it didn’t last very long 😂

Gorgeous !!!!! Wow.

@cyndi very true! Should be grateful for it given some are still in snow and freezing temperatures ❄️

@sherrisgarden thanks Sherri 😁 it’s my favourite so far 😋

I can see why.. you're welcome

I loved it i can even smell it through the phone lol so beautiful

I love all of your hyacinths 😍😍😍

@gjones pure accident they’re together 😂 but I like them as a combo too 😋 thank you 😁

@ublaszko thanks Urszula 😀 the cheap mixed bulbs seem to have some nice surprises 😛

I got one of those cheap surprises 😆😆 8 bulbs for £3 😁👍

@ublaszko is the photo you posted earlier from that pack?

Yep 👍

@ublaszko looks like it’s going to be a lovely colour 🤞🏼

They're dwarf ones, of course 😉😆😂

@ublaszko goes without saying 😉

Beautiful combination. I just love that blue 💙💙💛

@suerichards thank you 😁 hoping for some more sun so it opens up. Taking ages in this cold 😜

@kez001uk Kerry can’t you sleep either lol 😂

First one 😁

Such a pretty soft pink ❤️

Very pretty!💘😍
