Pity this wasn't "smellyvision" as some wiseacre once remarked or we would all be reeling from this little bowl of Blue Hyacinths....too heady for some folk I know - but nevertheless another welcome cheery corner - at this time of year.

Yes - just five little bulbs and the resulting scent fills the house. My poor lady-wot -does (since I no longer can!) has to remove them forthwith - as she can't cope and remarked yesterday that apart from the perfume being SO strong - they remind her of funerals!!!!!

Very true Homebird - looked good in the bathroom too...LOL
They have just finished flowering and there are some secondary buds appearing...which is a nice bonus!

Yes - I got a surprise too!! I had sent some baskets from T&M this past Xmas to friends and they reported that theirs all did a double flowering too.....so there must be a new strain that does this.....being an Aberdonian - I am all for it ...LOL

Such a heavenly heady scent, I usually plant mine after flowering in the garden with mostly positive results;0)

Oh yes PP...definitely - they will all go outside - when there is an outside I can reach...LOL At the moment we are ringing hard with permafrost..:;<<(((
Last night was -7C and already tonight we are -5C when will this ever end!!
