A couple of winter flowers

I love my scented flowers in the garden. This time of the years there aren't that many around in my garden as it is still winter and the garden is still quite bare.

Hyacinths
I'm a lazy gardener so bulbs don't get lifted very often here but some of them manage to survive the drought we had, neglect and still delight me every year like these jonquils and these sweetly fragrant hyacinths both of which I love. A spike or two of these is all I require in the house or the scent becomes overpowering.

My daughter thought the jonquils were cute and did a quick sketch of them while sitting out in the winters sun today.
