bloom

Two Sundays ago I chanced upon some potted hyacinth bulbs for sale and decided to buy one, figuring it would be a good opportunity for The Bun to learn about patience and plants and flowers. Like many kids his age, he often has problems waiting for something to happen - if it is going to happen, it'd better be RIGHT NOW OR ELSE

How fun! I have been thinking of growing some beans with Sean too, haha! I remember being extremely fascinated by the growth process when I was young too (though I was at least in Primary school then).

I was also going to do the beansprout thing too, but spotted the hyacinths before I actually got anything worked out.

I'm sure you guys will put your little garden to good use after you move!

Hi, was randomly surfing and chanced upon your blog. Would you mind sharing where you bought the hyacinth from? It looks beautiful!

Thanks

Hi, I bought the hyacinth from Ikea just before Chinese New Year, although I know they were also sold at various florists like Prince, Far East Flora, etc. I don't think there are any more being sold, though, since the festive season is over, but you can try your luck!
