oh, that's gorgeous! and I bet the scent is wonderful. I got some "giant hyacinth" plants once - prob was that the flowers were too heavy for the stems and kept flopping over unless I propped them up.

Are yours actually more 'purple-y' than the camera shows? They look blue in my photo, and they're not.
