Take in their intoxicating scent, bloom brightly and stand in your fullest expression.
Welcome to my garden. I’m Peggy Fiedler, and I’m a compassion advocate, cancer thriver and storyteller. Today I’d like to talk about the hyacinth.
Hyacinths line the walkway from my gate to my front door. They accompany every visitor who comes to see me. By the time visitors enter through my front door, they have taken in a full sensory experience. In its voluptuousness, the hyacinth allows all guests to know that they have arrived.
Of all the bulb flowers, the hyacinth has the most intoxicating fragrance. It runs neck-and-neck with the lilac for that honor. With its full-bodied scent, the hyacinth wants to saturate us with beauty.
When it comes to colors, the hyacinth is extravagant—flowers can be white, cream, pink, rose, cobalt blue, deep purple, wine red, apricot, lavender and more. As they stand tall in any garden, hyacinths boast the most abundant and brightest blooms when other plants are just starting to wake up.
When in full bloom, they have trouble standing up. They’re almost too much for themselves, yet they thrive when they stand together and support each other.
Perhaps this too-muchness is just what we need right now. The hyacinth is not afraid of being all it can be in its greatest expression. You can be sure the hyacinth is not thinking about winter. This is a flower that never looks back.
The hyacinth invites us to be alluring. We can be bright. We can be intoxicating and can stand in our fullest expression.
