          I'd say they're Hyacinths that flowered well last year and probably had their leaves cut off too early and so used all their energy up.

          Sometimes if you don't give them a really good feed they don't flower as well in their second year. Also, make sure you don't cut their leaves off until they've died back.

            Hi @Kon ,

            Definitely Hyacinths. Give them a feed every couple of weeks until the leaves start to yellow. Don't cut the leaves off until they've completely died off. You'll have a nice show next year.
