I'm very sorry I missed your question last year. These are Hyacinth bulbs. The vases I used are specially designed to grow these bulbs inside. If you're interested you can have a look at http://www.hyacinthvases.org.uk for more information,
Antique cameras are also a wanted commodity. With the ease of digital photography and camera phones, the visual appeal of these antique versions has grown tremendously. People love displaying and collecting these, and why shouldn't you have one, too?
Like objects always have more impact when grouped together. Just like the trio of vases on this side table, the pair of cameras attracts much more attention in unison than either camera would on its own.

It’s a favorite for forcing into bloom indoors. There’s even an appropriately named “hyacinth glass,” designed to hold the bulb and water and allow you to watch the roots develop as it grows. It’s also a favorite for containers. Outdoors, these hyacinths work well in drifts or informal beds but are structured enough to hold their own in a more traditional setting. Hyacinths will probably come back yearly only in cold-winter regions. Gardeners in warmer regions would do best to treat these as annuals. H. orientalis, the Roman or French Roman hyacinth, is less familiar but a good choice for warm-winter regions. It blooms early, with white, pink or light blue flowers.
