Some hyacinths have the most intense colour when they wilt, for example, this Peter Stuyvesant hyacinth.
These Peter Stuyvesant hyacinths have not performed very well this year. Still waiting to see how the one in the small clear vase on the bottom left blooms. The one on the bottom right (and above) never bloomed properly.
City of Haarlem hyacinths, below, are taking their time but may just turn into proper blooms.
Some more nice examples.
My first crocus in bloom, below right.
