Hyacinths

Two planted at the same time and on the same windowsill but one much more advanced than the other.

Hywel, as wild Hyacinths were probably blue, like Bluebells, that maybe why they are probably the first to flower. Lovely flowers though! The ones my daughter gave me for Christmas have now finished though there is actually a secondary stem with buds coming out of one of the bulbs that has finished flowering. 😀

Thank you all,

You could be right Balcony.
It's nice to know you have a second flower coming too. I think that is unusual.

My mother bought that little fellow for me years ago Klahani. I have another one as well, that sits with his legs dangling over the side, but his head has broken off. I must get it mended.

Yes they do small nice Sheila.

I do wonder why one is further on? Love both colours, Hywel. The little chap looks sweet!

The pink one has rotted before opening properly Kate :(

Oh that's a pity, Hywel.. sorry to hear that. Looked like it was going to be a real vivid colour too.

I was disappointed but there may have been something wrong with the bulb.

I'm afraid that's something that often happens to them.

28 Jan, 2023

 

Really ? That's interesting, I've never seen it happen before.

29 Jan, 2023

 

Yes, I've had it happen on some of mine. Most years I have a few on the balcony & occasionally this happens to one or two flowers!
