Today’s Flowers: Grape Hyacinth

hyacinth_grape
I appreciate grape hyacinths, small cone-like flowers that grow from fall-planted bulbs, more now that I have whole bunches of them popping up in front of my home.

The grape hyancinths go nicely with the creeping phlox blooming in patches of my front yard.

    These are both lovely flowers! Love the first one – maybe beacause I love the blue color!

  7. Both species are just lovely and there to be appreciated. The phlox was of particular interest to me because of the twocoloured flowers with a bright yellow center and I agree the two compliment eachother perfectly.
