I bought some from the grocery store and have left them to sit on the front porch because, 1) the cold will keep them from 'bolting' too soon, 2) the aroma can be overwhelming in the house, 3) the look nice as we come up the steps. :)<br />Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217649175025066003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-60768917912865634902019-02-15T15:53:03.578-05:002019-02-15T15:53:03.578-05:00Yes, perfectly imperfect!

I hope you see some spring in your yard soon. I hope those snow drops surprise you and are up soon.

After a year (or maybe 2) years of full bloom, my hyacinth bulbs end up spindly like that! (I figure that - like tulips - hyacinth bulbs lose their oomph after a big flourish???) (But I really have no idea.) Oh, well. Even a disappointing bloom is better than no bloom at this point in the season.
