10/15/00 Not planting any hyacinths in the garden this year; forcing these 'Blue Delft' hyacinths.
|
|
10/15/00 This one's going into a hyacinth glass to be grown in water only. The water should just touch the bottom of the bulb.
|
|
10/29/00 These three bulbs are potted in potting soil with just their tips showing. Could have used a smaller pot or more bulbs, but didn't have either one on hand at the time.
|
|
11/1/00 Getting some roots now.
|
| 1/13/01 The hyacinth glass experiment has ended tragically. The glass froze in the refrigerator and shattered. I didn't have another glass. Will try again next year; I've found a source for hyacinth glasses. And, I'll turn the thermostat in the refrigerator up a tad.

4/5/01 Not bad.
|
|
4/7/01 Must look pretty good to the bumble bee.
|
|
2/5/02 Another year and another try. After 13 weeks of chilling in the fridge, bulbs are starting to sprout.
|
|
3/9/02 Nice blooms that are leaning due to inadequate light inside. Heavenly scent.
