The hyacinths seem ok, they have the protective sheath over them, and except for the fact that they arrived moist (the sheath is humid), I cannot tell what's underneath. So I think I can declare them fine. Now, for the tulips: on the bright side (the only "bright side") they are nice size. The bad: one is completely rotten, is soft, mushy and completely browned (center-right in picture). All the remaining bulbs have browny spots/blemishes/marks on their white flesh. They look like attacked/bitten by fungi/parasites. I am trying to take a close-up for one bulb (without tearing the package), maybe you can see better what I mean. Please take a look and advise. Do you think they are healthy, or sick? What should I do? Thank you so much for any suggestions you may have! Alexandra (goofybulb). |
