Not the flowers yet, but the bulbs have been started!
I’m so excited to see if they grow. They were already sprouting on their own, so I’m hopeful!
And the best part? I’m not even giving these away as gifts – they’re for me!!!!

Hi! My name is Liza. Welcome to my blog and thanks for visiting! I’m a Midwestern gal now living in Arizona, after many years of living in and owning a plant care business in New Mexico.
Plants are living, breathing creatures, and if they’re indoor plants, they are 100% dependent on human care. They cannot water themselves.
Please let me know if you have questions or if you would like help with your plants or garden. You can reach me at lizatheplantlady (at) gmail (dot) com or follow me on Twitter, Lizawheeler7.

Hi Lisa,
I tried to do this with hyacinths but they did terrible
One did grow and blossom but very small and not so nice, the others grew the green stem and died. What did I do wrong? I was heartbroken!
I would love to try again but want them to live!
Thanks
Judy

You should totally try again. You may have done nothing wrong. Sometimes they grow, sometimes they don’t. It depends on the bulb. You may have gotten one that was really old or just had something wrong with it. Try again!!!!
