Day two

In October 2015 I'd seen hyacinth bulbs for sale in a lovely bowl with little gold stones instead of soil to plant the bulbs in.  Being a creative sort - not to say a bit thrifty I purchased a back of bulbs for a quarter of the price, then using a pyrex dish and glass beads and stones I already had, "planted and watered" the bulbs.

I stored the dish under the sink until they started to grow before moving them to the windowsill and waited for Christmas.

The flowers didn't bloom until New Year, but I am so pleased with them.  OK they may not look as neat as those in the lovely bowl but I love them, plus I watched as all the roots grew.
