Crocus, Hyacinth and Tulip growth!

OMG i'm going to pee my pants. I have crocus, tulip and hyacinth peeking out of their containers and the beds where I planted them. I know to treat them as annuals and I'm cool with that, just so freaking excited to see them growing. I even have a peony that is coming up; HOW EXCITING it would be if they grew and bloomed!

    All of those will grow and bloom since they probably had chilling requirements that were fulfilled before you bought them. Keep us posted on the progress.

    Well i kept them in the fridge for like 3 months, as i wasn't sure if they had been or not. I also didn't know if 3 months was too long, but we will find out. I am bursting and hope to post pics in a month or so!

    I am excited for you. In my garden flower bed (s) I have close to the same things popping up. I did not put in the refrigerator so I am excited when you will be able to post photos. I have many irises that have been getting thick stocks. I still have more irises that I purchased from Facebook that I was not able to plant into my yard before the weather changed but they are in the coolness of my shed. I also have to purchase more metal stakes as this is the year I decided to mark all the irises with their proper plant names. Good Luck to you.

    Ha, Ha, Pinkk. Is anyone here having fun with gardening? :-)

    So great to read about the progress and joys of a newbie gardener! We'll be looking forward to the pics.

    Hyacinths are my favorite and the scent is so pretty.

    I have daffodils that are showing a bit. Some tulip bulbs I had forced are looking great! My hyacinths aren't popping out of the ground yet, but should be soon. I am so excited for some winter blooms. My pansies look pretty and so do my cyclamen. I just discovered cyclamen for the first time this fall.

    Happy Winter Gardening!!

    Love my cyclamen, my 1st time too. I planted mine next to my house and the rain runs off my roof ripping them to shreds, I will have to move them. My pansies are great too, but tired of deadheading them :(

    I don't know where you are, but the hyacinths come back for me. They just never look as good as they did the first year.
