my first hyacinths in bloom this year

a second hyacinth in bloom, a week before Christmas so will definitely have some in bloom on Christmas day

the scent of this one is pure spring

my first hyacinth is in bloom (December 18th)

Most of these are starting to show their pink colour. In my experience pink hyacinths are usually the first in bloom.

the amaryllis is getting tall; I hope that low vase will keep it from falling over as they often do

I think the hyacinths I took out of the dark the last few days may be my final ones out before Christmas. The shoots are a bit anemic as they've been in the dark but they green up after a few days in the light.

these came out of the dark a couple weeks ago and have really greened up

of the ones just out of the dark, the two on the right don't have very good roots but they're still growing

I don't know why some hyacinth bulbs just don't get going with roots
