Default A happy surprise.....

And I thought that bulbs started in this way should be placed in the
dark for some weeks before being brought into the light. At least
that's what the instructions said on one we acquired for Xmas.

and what kind of bulbs were these?


Hyacinths specifically prepared for growing on in hyacinth jars.

My quote is taken from the instructions on the pack, which goes on to
say "When flowering is completed and flowers fading, the bulb should
be discarded"
