Hyacinths

I have never planted hyacinths.
At first I thought, perhaps they arrived because the seeds blew over the fence. 
Did a neighbor have hyacinths?

I know for a fact the single man to my left does not. But I asked to be certain. He laughed and said he had never had them on his patio.  I asked the people to my right. Nope, they have never had hyacinths on their patio.

So how did they get there?
We planted tulips and only 2 are coming up in between hyacinths. 
We planted the tulip bulbs 5 years ago.

I think they are a bulb. I'm guessing someone planted them that lived there before you?

Julie, no one lived here before me. First owner. We built the boxes and we planted tulips several years ago. Tulips are coming up but so are these. I thought perhaps a seed blew over the fence but since neighbors didn't have them. And critters can't get to our back patio. I like hyacinths so it's all good, just a mystery.

When acinths get high they have been know to knock off tulips.
