I tried to take a photo of each hyacinth at its peak although I didn't always catch them at the right time. I made some notes at the time I observed the flowers in bloom. I have given each a rating of "poor", "poor/ok", "ok" or "good" making it easier to make comparisons and calculate an average. At first I just had "poor", "ok" and "good" but I was judging some as "poor" that had in fact bloomed so I thought I had to give them a slightly better rating if they bloomed even if I thought the resulting flower was poor.
I've noted the date the flower was in full bloom. Unless otherwise noted, they were started the 11th to 16th of September.
These were overall very disappointing (across all suppliers), the flowers not really emerging properly from the leaves. They were mostly in bloom reasonably early and at the same time.
especially compared with a previous year:
