Hyacinthus orientalis

I’m going to say #fadedbeauty as these are now 4th year bulbs! Thought I’d give them a go, but looking a little tired and not doing their “thing”, but I can’t bin them so giving them a chance 😁

Always a bonus when you send hubby to shop and he come back with something not on the list! 😂 also christening one of my pots from Maria, a Christmas gift 😍@Elsie

Ooh that will smell heavenly when in full bloom! Here's to good 'ol Hyacinths 😊😊

I know this will be my 3rd lot! 😁 @midnightgardener

Bless him x

Wonderful! I must get some for indoors. I've got some in the garden if this weather hasn't put paid to their growth 😕😊

Good man! 👍👍

Hubby got these from Tesco £2 😄Christine, I dry the bulbs when finished and plant out for next winter so double whammy! 😁 @midnightgardener

Can ya send him for me 😜

🤣 makes me wonder what he's after! See comment on your snowman post! ⬆️

@hayleyja Is it neccessary to dry them off etc? I planted mine outside after it had finished flowering and it's popping through now. I'll give it a try your way might get a better result 😊

I only do that as I put them in pots for winter 😊 @midnightgardener

And they are #blooming #bulbs 💕💕💕

Blooming her socks off! 💓💓

#hyacinth

Another pretty lady has opened today, smells divine and no compost in sight!! 😃😃😃

I bet! 💕

I miss this fragrance 😞

It's amazing and still 7 more to open!! I will be in a perfume haze soon! 😂😂👏😊 @ankur1406

@hayleyaj I did not know before GT about hynacinth, but very crazy about it.

I've forced my bulbs, by using the water method. These bulbs will have to go outside in compost next year, as you can't force them twice. They are beautifully scented flowers 😃😃 perfect for winter days @ankur1406

First flowers coming through! 😃😊

@hayleyaj how exciting it will be in full flower for the new year 🥂

Can't wait! All the others grown using just water in vases coming though too! 😊 @shelleyB

#hyacinth

Such a pretty thing 😍

#hyacinth doing really well in their vases 💕

Lovely Hayley. No chance of yours toppling over 👍

Not just roots!! Now life in the bulbs!! Yay! 😃😃

Read this on the gardeners world website today: http://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/grow-plants/how-to-grow-hyacinths-in-a-glass/

Such an easy way to grow them. Must have a go 😀

It's is, just be careful to "ballast" then as no compost to grab into. I've added decorative pebbles to mine today too 👍@susanhumphrey @Pushkraj

Is this a shallow pot Hayley ?

Which pot Sue?!😂😂 @susanhumphrey333

Sorry Hayley. Thought the bulb was in some sort of pot with rocks 😂😂😂 🤔

Oh I see! I thought you were asking me about one of yours!!😂😂 these are in a glass bowl with pebbles 👍 @susanhumphrey333

That's a better idea. I have some nice glass bowls. Do you use compost or just water 💦 under the pebbles?

Sorry forget that just read your comment above. 😂

Just water and pebbles. Just put another pic on for you 😃 @susanhumphrey333

Roots already!! 👍👍

In case you're wondering why I'm keen that they establish quickly, I'm trying to force them so they flower for Christmas!! 🎄🎄🎄
