City of Bradford hyacinths

City of Bradford is becoming one of my favourite hyacinths: 3 in the middle below, in the amethyst, lime green and dark green vases. I'd never forced them before but very impressed with their performance this year, especially in the bulb bowl below.

all the hyacinths in the bulb bowl are in bloom at the same time

the buds on the Blue Eyes hyacinths are enormous

Delft Blue on the right in the Dartington neodymium hyacinth vase, think that's Blue Jacket on the left, that pot was pressed into service at the last minute when there were too many hyacinth bulbs (as if there could be too many!) and I didn't note it on my spreadsheet

just 2 days after the pic below this one, the Blue Jacket hyacinths in the bulb bowl are opening up
