The bloom beautifully in early spring/late winter. Dark purple ones, called 'Woodstock'.Villrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07827038513371643021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872191611731451236.post-28272760448509130472015-12-14T16:19:18.571-08:002015-12-14T16:19:18.571-08:00Beautiful, I have never tried to grow them on rock...Beautiful, I have never tried to grow them on rocks, looks pretty easy!<br />http://ohmyheartsiegirl.com/heartsie-girls-wordless-wednesday-45/Karren Hallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570703894205150055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872191611731451236.post-83743684611608368462015-12-14T13:35:06.826-08:002015-12-14T13:35:06.826-08:00Hello Hetty, this is my first visit to your place....Hello Hetty, this is my first visit to your place. <br />I was fascinated to read about forcing the hyacinth bulbs. It's something that I've never even heard of never mind tried. <br />I've got a plant dilemma at the moment... I had a beautiful canna lily in a large pot in my garden but I have nowhere to store it inside or protected from the harsh frosts of Bonnie Scotland. So I've wrapped it in bubble wrap!<br />Lots of bubble wrap. So I'm carrying out my own experiment. <br />Have a great week and good luck with the hyacinths ;DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872191611731451236.post-39495935275002927102015-12-14T09:52:16.597-08:002015-12-14T09:52:16.597-08:00Perhaps you can transplant them later, but in the ...Perhaps you can transplant them later, but in the meanwhile they have brightened your house!<br />Thank you for linking up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/12/beautiful-saint-maarten.htmlNCSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617227847364562989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872191611731451236.post-79731520738137358282015-12-14T07:23:19.005-08:002015-12-14T07:23:19.005-08:00Dear Hetty, the hyacinth bulbs in the preserving j...Dear Hetty, the hyacinth bulbs in the preserving jars look sooo... beautiful. If you wouldn't be striving for blooms that would have been a lovely autumn decoration by itself. <br />I know that forcing hyacinths can be tricky. I did it in previous years myself including a chilling period of six weeks in the refrigerator but this year decided not to fumble with them and force some Paperwhites instead. They are so much easier to handle. One has already a blooms. <br />Hope you find a way to get your hyacinths to flower!<br />Warm regards, <br />Christina organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.com
