84. Grape Hyacinth

For my "One of a kind" flower images project. (NO 84)

 

I do not have this plant in the garden, I am going to plant it soon!

 

 

 

the name Muscari means musk in Greek, which is fitting for these scented flowers.

 

 

 

In Holland at the Keukenhof Gardens, there is an area called the “Blue River,” where an overwhelming mass of grape hyacinths are planted so densely and vast, it looks like a river running through the trees, shrubs, and other spring flowers

 

some species can be used in traditional herbal medicine for its diuretic and stimulant properties.
