                  Two Hyacinths planted in glass 'things' both at the same time and placed side by side on a windowsill, but one is much more ahead than the other :scratch:

                      I can remember doing that when I was at school @Michael Hewett .
                      I always think the scent of hyacinths as being the smell of spring.

                        I like the scent but my mother hated them because my Grampa always put them on his parent's grave. She used to call them 'death flowers' :heehee:
                        I always grow some in these glass things. My late partner Beryl liked doing it and they remind me of her :biggrin:
