Spring is fast approaching and what could be better than the delicate scent of hyacinths. The hazel catkins are shaking out their yellow pollen and the willow twigs flicker with their reds and oranges in the hedgerow. I have encircled them with a heart of silver birch twigs. I think this would be the perfect Valentine gift and something different from red roses. Pink hyacinth means play, whilst white hyacinth means loveliness.
