Can anyone tell me what those glass containers for growing hiacynths are called please? They are like a milk bottle shape with a glass cup on the top where you put the bulb.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have always called them "bulb glasses" You can get them small enough for crocusses too. and I've got one designed to sprout acorns. They are not so much used now as they were due to the improvement in hyacinth bulbs that has made the flowerheads larger and heavier. This means that when grown in a bulb glass, they become top heavy and unstable. A better method with modern bulbs is to use pebbles in water in a tank vase.
