Isn't it incredible how a fragrance can instantly trigger a memory?The week of high school work experience that led me to a career in flowers smelled of hyacinths. My task each morning was to arrange the vases of posy flowers on their table in the display, and being that the week was in the cooler months of the year, the hyacinths were abundant.
I couldn't think of anything more wonderful to do with my life than spend it surrounded by such gorgeousness. Every time I have hyacinths in the shop, I'm taken straight back to that week, and it's another reminder of why I do what I do.
I love the slow drop of temperature as we descend into winter and my world smells again of hyacinths... Brilliant!
