I had not thought about crocuses not blooming, it is probably too warm here for them, drat!
Anyhow, this being my first year with Hyacinths I am really happy with them, they are such a nice addition to the garden. So far I have not decided my favorite color, but my least favorite so far is what I thought was white (till the white actually stated blooming) so maybe it was suppose to be pale yellow, what ever it is suppose to be it just looks like the color faded on it.
