A large part of spring is, actually, 'come back' time. There is not a whole lot that is new here. It is a re-emergence of last year. The surprise is always just how the REemergence arrives. This Easter hyacinth from last year is pale in comparison to what it was. But then, it was a greenhouse gift then, and now it has been out in nature for a year. I am happy that it has 'come back' at all. I am happy for the color that it is. I am happy for the green of its leaves. When the flowers have spent, I will add in some fertilizer to the soil and look forward to the re-emergence next spring.
