Bulbous

I have recently been attempting to sprout hyacinth bulbs in a set of bulb vases. Of the three, one is beginning to put out shoots, one has grown mould on its bottom (oo-er!) and the third has fallen through the narrow neck of the vase and sunk. By the official Meat Loaf rating of success (two out of three aint bad), I am deeming this a failure to coax Spring into being.
