Claudia's Hyacinth

Claudia paints delightful watercolors. Check out this hyacinth painting and the information about hyacinths which, I now know, are native to Iran.

I'm back from Claudia's blog. Unfortunately the picture didn't open for me. I should try it later. Sometimes this happens.... I love water colors and hyacinth, too.
This flower has got a very symbolic value in Iran. When the new year begins here with spring, we have some ceremonies. One of them is Sofreye Haft-Seen( a cloth on which we put seven things their names starting with /S/ sound plus some other items. Hyacinth is one of the 7 /s/'s.
In Farsi it is called Sonbol.

Human Being. Thanks so much for this reply. It is so interesting to know about some of your ceremonies.
It sort of reminds me of Britt-Arnild's blog on which she wrote about Lent and the seven weeks of (i think or maybe more weeks) and she too arranged a cloth with different colors and symbols for each week of Lent.

You are welcome to my words. You are so kind. Hugs hugs to you.

Cris sorry you feel unwell. Don't at all think you must read my story. I know it is a sort of long post and it's fine of course to not read it.
