I have these grape hyacinths in my garden.

GOOGLE
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 Puglia region of Italy, under the names "lampascioni", "lampasciuni", "lamponi".

Hi Lurdes

Beautiful photo! Great capture of fine intricate detail and pastel colours. The blue of the flower against the blue sky works very well in this composition. Awesome!
