Mums cupboard flowers

Every year my mum would plant hyacinths and put them in the cupboard under the stairs until they started to grow. The scent of them always reminds me of her. I can also still remember the bowl she planted them in. Made by Sylvac, it was decorated with pixies and rabbits sat around a tree trunk. I loved it when I was little and then when I was a teenager I hated it. Now I'm all grown up, I wish I had it to plant my own bulbs in..

sweet, loving story and beautiful image to go with it !

What a beautiful rendering Suzanne. I too remember the hyacinth bulbs going in the airing cupboard. I wonder what happened to that bowl you remember with such emotion?

Beautiful and such a lovely story, it's funny how smells bring back memories, mine is every time I smell the fragrance 'Youth Dew' my mum's favourite perfume 😊

so pretty ...FAV because I think it's hard to get the lighting right and get nice shots of white flowers

A sweet memory of your Mum. We all go through difficult times when we are teenagers and then regret that we missed opportunities later don't we.
