I bought single hyacinths, ready-to-bloom, and took note that each bulb was placed in small vases which barely held them and maybe a scant handful of dirt.

Fern – yes I think the bulb is rotten from too much moisture. I read somewhere that the bulbs don’t need to be planted in the soil and they can just sit on top. I will give this a try next time.

Julie – I know! What a bummer. Oh well, I will try again next time.
