Aunt Lina's yard was heavenly. She had all manner of flowering shrubs, lilies, and narcissus. On one side of the house was a huge old knarled holly tree. It would have been a perfect play place only it had a carpet of holly leaves with tortuous points ready to poke into your bare feet or scratch up your hands. It also had a colony of Grape Hyacinths growing underneath. I did brave the pointy leaves to dig some hyacinth bulbs and they pop up every year to my delight.
