No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

I've done it, the upside down hyacinth. There were two of these, but the other one just dissolved. Quite a bizarre & pointless exercise first discovered in the 18th century when winters were long and entertainment hard to come by.

The glass is a recent reproduction of a circa 1900 English model.

Hah! Ivo I thought we'd been spammed for a minute when I saw your Subject line!  >:D

Well done on your success :clap:  I can see it would have advantages for those like me to whom the scent of hyacinths gives a terrible headache.  8)

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

It takes a long time before it finally decides that it's now or never, a final suicide dash. I'm not sure how or why the mechanism works. And I also think chance of success is not 100%. The other one started to bloom but dissolved in the water. I have 2 more doing just about nothing. I'll just wait and see. And several attempts at Patricia's failed because of frost damage.
