Second 6 Cages of Hyacinths

Continued from my previous message...

The second set of cages were planted just yesterday--it is raining and windy today, so I'm glad I didn't wait any longer.

Top Left Row of cages:
cage 4: Prince of Love & Blue Tango
cage 5: Amsterdam & Blue Sapphire
cage 6: Firelights & Fondant

Bottom Row:
cage 10: Isabelle & Gypsy Queen(with label for photo reference)
cage 11: Blue Star & Vuurbaak
cage 12: Kronos & Violet Smith

The hyacinths are covered with soil up to the tops of their cages, but I have left room in back and front of the cages for some daffodils and some muscari. I hope to get them planted this weekend and then add the final layer of soil to fill up the bed.

That's it. 24 different hyacinth varieties--some very old, some very new. Some I have grown before and some that are new to me. I can hardly wait until March for the show to begin!
