...The spring is coming!
Yesterday the first day of spring. But actually it looks like fall is coming. Heavy rain and hail showers!

This grape hyacinth (in dutch: blauw druifje, official:Muscari Botryoides) let his little head hang. Waiting for sun and spring-heat.



The muscari botryoides: Flowering - April - May.

Habitat - Typically cultivated but also escaped to fields, pastures, old homesites, roadsides, railroads.

Origin - Native to Europe.

Other info. - This is a very popular plant in cultivation because it is easy to grow and quite striking. The small blue inflated flowers are hard to miss. There are actually sterile and fertile flowers in the inflorescence. The sterile flowers are smaller and at the apex of the inflorescence.
This species can be found growing wild in a number of counties scattered throughout Missouri. There are at least two other species of Muscari in cultivation that have escaped into the wilds of the state.

Hi Willienda,
Waouhhh ! Wonderfull ! Very good macro, this colors are all soft and the charm of its drops on the flower are details which make a great photography. Its presentation with the frame reproducing the fuzzy flower is a very good choice, congratulations.

Hoi Willienda,

Dit is een erg mooie closeup van dit blauwdruifje.
Kleuren zijn echt prachtig, goeie scherpte en ik vind je frame er erg mooi bij passen.
Prachtfoto!

Groetjes, Nel

Het is werkelijk prachtig wat je hier heb gedaan
Laat mij raden:
De blauwedruif tegen een zwarte achtergrond (wat als kleur stelling natuurlijk hartstikke mooi werk) Die gebruik je nog eens heel geraffineerd als achtergrond met een gausian blur
Je hebt prachtig licht en dat druppeltje doet de deur dicht
Wat kan iets eenvoudigs mooi zijn. En wat laat jij dat goed zien.
Ruud

Lovely lighting and beautiful colours. The dark BG really sets the flower off. Lovely water drops
