I`ve had a small pot on a windowsill for a few weeks now, sadly they are past their best but the perfume drifted around the whole of the downstairs

Beautiful! I envy you your lovely pot

Your pot looks lovely. Hyacinths really do perfume the house, so much nicer than artificial room fresheners. I've got a couple of those glass hyacinth vases.....only from Wilko's or somewhere like that, very cheap, and every autumn, I grow a couple in those. They take so little effort, just fill with water & sit bulb in the round bit at the top with roots just touching the water & stick them in a dark cupboard. The roots soon go shooting down into the vase. When the shoots appear, vases can be brought out into warm room. 'Prepared' bulbs are supposed to flower for Christmas.....I've never managed to have one in flower for Christmas Day, but by New Year, they're usually in flower & scent the whole room beautifully.
