Help grape hyacinths...

21 years ago

Anyone interested in these beautiful plants. I loved them last month, but there were a zillion in my flower bed and now they have all fallen over and look dismal. I'm going to pull some up. They have tiny bulbs and tend to multiply, but there's nothing like them ion early spring. Should I consider bringing these to the swap? I'm putting them in Dixie cups to give to a few friends who wanted some, but I have scads more! Here's how they looked when they were in their glory.

Do you think bringing them to the swap would be like bringing coals to Newcastle? Would everyone just laugh at me? Haha! caroleann

Bring em! I have a few that I dug from my mother's garden in upstate NY. Trading with her doesn't always work because of the differences in our zones. These are doing okay but would like a fuller look sooner. I'll trade for them - hope I have something to trade that you want. I'm talking about the E TN swap - are you? Linda
