Hyacinths are a special Easter flower and smell very similar to a lilac. They also are grown from a bulb which can be replanted in your garden as a perennial.
Our local grocery store had them on clearance after Easter for $1.00 so of course I bought 10. The bulbs were planted today and now I am making some hyacinth oil to use in our homemade body scrubs (which I will use mainly for my hands and feet).
Place the cut flowers into a bowl with 1 cup of water and 1/8 cup of sunflower oil (or you can use olive oil) and let soak for a day or two.
Store the oil in a jar and use it to scent your body scrub!!
**Body Scrubs can be made many ways. I will use this with organic cane sugar and a touch of glycerin**

Hyacinth is my favorite flower in the spring and mine were cooked last night. I did get a good smell yesterday though!
I am so glad I got my bulbs in and cut these while they were still in the house as we are getting 5 to 8 inches tonight. Said goodbye to my beautiful primrose today as they were covered last night. SAD!!!
