Another Use For The Sake Bottle

.........especially as we don't seem to drink it anymore.
I reckon if you go large you can smell this Hyacinth....I love 'em.
I remember when I was a kid every year at school one of the things we had to do was buy a hyacinth bulb put it in one of those bulb bottle thingo's and watch it grow. When they were ready there was a certificate for the best one. I never  did win it....for some reason mine were always thin and spindly whilst others were plump and gorgeous.

There really is something about that smell that transports me right back there...always........even though at times I was painfully shy about the state of my bloom I always feel good remembering those times.

Its been a nuts and bolts day.

“People are mostly layers of violence and tenderness wrapped like bulbs, and it is difficult to say what makes them onions or hyacinths.”
