Yes I concour with your opinion! I was very happy with my unexpected booties those three intense-purplish Hyacinths, and, guess, I played the bee and I self pollinated every individual flower of the 6 scapes. (I gently inserted the tip of a small paintbrush into the flower and turned it a little bit ).
Generally spoken: Propagating plants by seeds offers the possibility to select those specimens (in swollen words: Clones) which will be the most adapted to exactly your environmental conditions in your location. And, an individual plant might turn out to fit exactly your personal taste, although it might be considered inferior according to commercial criterions.

Some belated Hyacinths (mix of unamed) out of bulbs from the local Supermarket which I forced very late (actually, believe-or-not, I planted them into CoCo not before March).
