The photo is rather dramatic of me, I know, but there are not enough of these lovelies blooming yet to block out the rather unsightly foliage growing in the background.
So I used a flash and just blacked it all out.
I kind of like it.
This is Hyacinthoides hispanica. Plant the bulbs in the fall and they will reward you the following spring and then forever after. I mix them in with pansies, daffodils and sparaxis.
This is an awesome photo of a beautiful flower. I think I may have taken a photo of this flower at least once before. The name is familiar. I look forward to more of your flower shots.
Christine, Is this Hyacinth? "Wood Hyacinth" My Hyacinth in flower now but I think this hyacinth looks a bit different. I like stamens of this hyacinth.
And the sparaxis. I was very much surprised when I looked at this flower. So beautiful! I love this!
Hi Makiko, I think there are several varieties of Hyacinth, this version being just one. I love my sparaxis. They come in many colors which I will show when they begin to bloom.

But dramatic is good, Christine.
I just love this photo! What a great idea to highlight a single flowering stalk.
I like it too. Drama is good, once in a while, it adds a little spice.
I must remember to plant some, I like flowers that keep coming back.
Wood hyacinths bloom,
their delicate purple bells
ringing in sweet spring.
