[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Grape hyacinths are a group of plants in the genus Muscari of plants native to Eurasia that produce spikes of blue flowers resembling bunches of grapes. There are about forty species.

Some species are among the earliest to bloom in the spring, and are planted both in flower beds as well as in lawns. They are planted as bulbs and tend to multiply quickly when planted in good soils.

Muscari comosum bulbs are pickled and eaten in Greece under the name βολβοί ([vol'vi] lit. 'bulbs') and in the Basilicata and Puglia region of Italy, under the names "lampascioni", "lampasciuni", "lamponi".

The Muscari have originated in the old world: the Center and South of Europe, Northern Africa, the West, Center and South-West of Asia.

The term muscari (Latin scientist of the Rebirth of muscarium) is a musk derivative, evoking the musky perfume of certain species

Hi Durzan,
Very nice POV to capture this lovely flower.
I love these flowers, they're all over the place at this time of the year!
Lovely colors although a bit dark so I took the liberty to do a WS hoping you don't mind.
TFS

Lurdes
