| Once upon a time I decided to buy some Hyacinth bulbs. Just to have some fresh flowers in the early spring. And because I really like their fragrance and how the flowers grow in those clusters. I picked the blue ones. Planted them and voila :) | Dawno dawno temu postanowiłam nabyć drogą kupna cebulki Hiacyntów. Coby mieć jakieś pięknie kwitnące kwiaty wczesną wiosną. Ale też dlatego, że uwielbiam ich zapach i to, że kwiaty tworzą te niesamowite kiście. Wybrałam niebieskie, posadziłam i voila :). |

| They grew quite nicely from each bulb. But you know how you buy them in flower shops in spring and they have those tall flower stem covered in blooms? Well mine weren't that tall. Te flowers we very pretty and super fragrant though. And that was it. The next year they grew some leaves only and then the bulbs died. The same thing happened with my tulips. First year all lovely, second didn’t even open one flower. | Każda cebulką ładnie wykiełkowała. Ale kwiaty pod żadnym względem nie przypominały tych, jakie można kupić wiosną w sklepach. Te są duże, wyrośnięte i wysokie. Moje to takie wypierdki trochę.. Ale za to przepięknie pachniały. I to by było na tyle. W kolejny roku wyrosły same liście a potem wszystko obumarło. To samo stało się z tulipanami. W pierwszym roku przepięknie kwitły, w drugim klapa. |

| In cooler climates they overwinter in the soil. And I suspect that is what they need. A very cold, dark, long winter rest. I couldn't give them that unless I put the in the fridge. There was so many plants over the years that I absolutely adore, but they just wouldn’t grow for me. What will? Cacti! :) | W chłodniejszym klimacie Hiacynty zimują w gruncie. Przypuszczam zatem, że tego właśnie im u mnie brakowało. Tej długiej, ciemnej i chłodnej zimy. Chyba, że trzymałabym je w lodówce. Przez ostatnie kilka lat próbowałam z różnymi kwiatami, ale te nie chcą u mnie rosnąć. A co daje radę? Kaktusy! :) |

Thank you.
I love the smell of hyacinth. It is one of the beautiful fragrances of spring.
I agree! Still doesn't win with Freesias, but it is one of my fav too :)
I'm not sure what Freesias smell like. I will look for them in the spring. Is it also a bulb?
Yes it is a bulb. You should plant it in the fall, but I think early spring will be fine too. Like with Tulips.
Oh the smell... most amazing! Floral, fresh and sweet in the same time. It is my number one among flower fragrances.
I will look for it! :)
Please do. They are worth planting :)
Yup, they want to be cold in winter
Not gonna happen here..

It happened the same thing the me too. They are nice when you buy them ready, blooming but you can't get a second blooming. Maybe there's a trick of some kind. I prefer to buy them from the flower shop.
By the way, I bought some black tulip bulbs in September I guess and they are planted at my dad's. Can't wait to see them blooming 🌷😍
Black Tulips <3 Cant wait to see those in bloom :)
And will not buy anymore of those bulb stuff... except Freesias. Those grow nicely :)
Me too, I guess I'll be sitting in front of the flowers all day 😀
