Delft Blue hyacinths just opening



all the Delft Blue hyacinths

all the hyacinths together


the Minerva amaryllis flowers were wilted so decided to moved that vase

but then I noticed a new bud coming up so I cut off the wilted flower and put the vase back on the windowsill

Blue Eyes hyacinths, sadly the centre florets are not opening properly

dark pink are Jan Bos, white is Aiolos and purple is Delft Blue

The whitefly on my crocus this year have been so bad, I had to put the Wedgwood hedgehog outside. Previous years they have not been a problem. I think it was the weather. When I started the crocus last autumn, the weather was so warm, the whitefly infested the crocus immediately so were already present when I brought them into the house. The temperatures are pretty cold so I expect some time outside will deal with the whitefly.

I'd discovered this bulb in one of the vases with no roots so removed it from the vase.
I was going to dispose of it when I noticed it had a tiny green shoot. I planted it outside in a pot of compost.
