I've spent nearly a month trying to breed purple hyacinths

Am I doing something wrong? This can't be normal. I've TT'ed through the entire month of May with 0 purple hyacinths. I started by breeding the orange ones, which popped up right away from my yellow + red hyacinths. I'm at about 10 orange hyacinths now, watering them daily for nearly 30 days straight and not a single purple has sprouted.

I realize at this point I should probably just by them from someone, but my stubborn self is like well I've sunk so much time into this already and I have all these orange flowers I don't actually want, I really want to see this through, lol. There shouldn't be anything else to it, is there? I have my orange hyacinths in the diagonal/grid pattern. Do I need to use my golden watering can? I'm saving that for just my black roses, not sure if it affects other flowers, like these hyacinths. The only thing I haven't tried is getting people to come over and water them, but I don't really want to do that if I can help it because it's so time consuming.

Am I just having horrible luck or am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated!
I have three orange hyacinths that have given me purples, I was about to throw them, since I don't need them anymore and I'm to lazy to open a shop. If you want them they are yours.
 
Same offer. Managed to get a good patch growing if you want two !^^

Omg thanks for the offers, guys! I would love to take them. I'll PM a dodo code to drop them off if you don't mind - I'll give you each 1 NMT for your troubles if that's okay?
