I always have a cat supervising. This time Scarecrow.
next 20 vases out of the dark
amaryllis growing tall with multiple buds
24-11-2024 Next 5 vases out of the dark, note how yellow they are in contrast to the 2nd photo of the vases that have been out a week and have greened up; all so far are Scarlet Pearl and Jan Bos hyacinth varieties. Jan Bos is an early one I know but I have not grown Scarlet Pearl before but so far, it's early.
I brought the crocus out of the dark (19-11-2024), both vases and the Wedgwood hedgehog. The stems are quite fat so I assume buds are out of the bulb. I've had hit and miss results with crocus. I'll just have to see how they do. I'll top up the water in the vases. I find crocus bulbs need to touch the water unlike hyacinth bulbs which must not touch the water.
I put some muscari in those small jars with pebbles a few weeks ago. I put them outside this week, not realising we'd have such cold freezing weather. One broke.
