continuing bulb forcing - crocus and muscari end of Sept

I started the crocus forcing, putting a crocus bulb in each vase, filling them with water, but unlike the hyacinth bulbs which must not sit in water, the crocus doesn't seem to start growing roots unless the water touches the bulb. As with the hyacinth vases, into the dark to be checked in a few weeks.

I find the muscari will not grow in a vase with water, unlike the hyacinth and crocus. They need to be on something like pebbles or compost. I've been collecting these little jars which I thought would be nice with some small bulbs. I put some pebbles in each and 1, 2 or 3 bulbs in each depending on how many fit, filled with water and into the dark. I can't remember if they like to be in water like crocus or out of water like hyacinths. I think they are touching the water. I'll check them in a few weeks.

I have a Wedgwood hedgehog I put crocus bulbs in.

most of the crocus bulbs have shoots

if they have a second shoot at the bottom or on the side I break it off as all the energy should go into the top shoot

I put a crocus bulb at each hole and filled the hedgehog with bulb fibre.

watered it and put it into the garage in the dark, I'll check it in a few weeks
