Its intense scent and pleasing appearance are convincing even a fern/ palm / cycad / conifer lover like me!

Wonderful textures and colours and I can almost smell the scent from this beautiful hyacinth. A super close up MS.

@MaryB: Thanks, Mary! It's located on our balcony and every time we open the door the scent of our hyacinth and lavenders is blown into the living room. This vastly shortens waiting time till spring! :-)

The purple is beautiful, then it looks like specks of gold on the leaves.
