hyacinth ~ pink pearl?

Im so pleased with these ~ I planted 6 in a bowl, started them off outside in the cold and then brought them in, they have been flowering since new years day, all 6 have come out ~ thats the best ive ever done with hyacinth! these look like little pink starfish!!

That is a lovely colour Sticki,I haven't grown them for a long time..Russell's mum couldn't have them anywhere near her,as they gave her really bad headache,from the perfume..I had'nt heard of that before,have you ?

Mine are all coming up in the garden Sticki, I took a slow walk outside today to see what's happening and although lots of things look messy the bulbs are coming up. I love the perfume of hyacinths :o))

i like the smell, its fresh but i have heard of people getting a headache from some flowers.
i havent got any outside ~ they dont seem to do so well there but these will go out when they've finished ~ hopefully they will do well next year?
not really my colour ~ im sure they were meant to be the red ones!
