lol . . . so true! The last place that I lived was so hilly that I had two different growing zones in my own yard. I loved that place though, and had a ball working in my flowers. ***nostalgic sigh***

Maybe a critter (mole/vole/chipmunk) damaged this bulb??? I'd be sure to fertilize them now so they're stronger for the next blooming season.

My hyacinths did that the second year after they had bloomed. I dont think that they had enough of cold before the spring came. I don't know for sure it is just a guess.

Must be mine! Some of my neighbors toss their branches and stuff over the fence into my yard because compared to their little postage-stamp sized bits of turf my wooded acre is a "wild woodlot" to them...
Fascinating, about the cold having that effect on the bulbs - so following that logic, places with really cold winters must be able to boast the tallest tulips, etc.?
