first crocus in bloom 28-12-2022
the day before buds are thick with whitefly as all the crocus are
I've been trying to remove them but they come back
couple days later, another crocus in bloom and colour showing in other buds
crocus in Wedgwood hedgehog just coming into bloom, sadly lots of whitefly

Blue Eyes hyacinths just starting to open
I do try to keep track of which variety of hyacinth is in each vase but in my rush to start them in October, sometimes the spreadsheet doesn't get updated. The two hyacinths on the left with pinkish buds and colouring on the leaves look like the same variety but not sure what yet.

in reviewing the hyacinths this morning, I discovered that this bulb had fallen through the opening into the water so I needed to put it into another vase
when I lifted it out, saw just how extensive the roots are, I put the bulb in the blue vase shown to its left
