My Hyacinths

Post by renaldo75 »

are suddenly in bloom!! :o :o :cool: Sure doesn't take em long to get going. 2 days before I took these pics on the 6th, I was out looking around in the bed where they are planted. You could see the tops of the bloom stalks - they were bumps at the surface of the ground. After one day in the 60's [maybe low 70's] & the next day nearly 80, this is what they looked like.

I'm still not used to how quickly they 'accelerate' once they start!!

Amazing!! I have never been around hyacinths in a garden until I planted these several year ago.
