«I need a white hyacinth for the mantel» «Of course» I said… «I think that would work really well» «could you get one for me?» «not a problem» I reply…“leave it with me“ I put the phone down… what the hell is a white hyacinth? I wonder to myself. Some swift googling tells me it is a plant, I’m on my way to Monkstown anyway, so I try Blooms & Bows. 4 mins later I leave, plant in hand, having been expertly looked after.
