Here you see some late arrivals at Annville Inn. The larger bulbs are hyacinths, flowers that shoot up early in the spring following the crocus. Hyacinths (hyacinthus orientalis) are extremely sweet smelling. Normally, Craig plants these in early fall, October to November. These, however, were late arrivals, going to bed in late December. They will still come up. The photo of the smaller bulbs is of two varieties of tulips that went to bed at the usual time in November.
These bulbs are only a few of the over 3,000 spring bulbs planted in our three acres of gardens! Need a get-away, a respite before spring hits? Then call the Inn and book
a cozy room to snuggle in during these cold days of winter. Today, we have guests curled up in the theatre watching old movies and other guests enjoying the heavy snow that is coming down--they are in the conservatory, surrounded on three sides by glass, sitting in rocker chairs in front of a roaring wood burning fire.

Winter is fun at Annville Inn!
