Photo: Jann Bernhard Nilsen It all began this summer. My husband and I were hiking in the Norwegian mountains Rondane and I decided that mountain flowers should be my holiday project. I wanted to learn all the names of the tiny, beautiful flowers that surrounded our feet. I made this little bouquet and back at the […]

Some friends on their way on vacation left us five bulbs of Hyacinths (Hyasinter/Svibler) in a box yesterday.
