Hyacinth
All hyacinths descend from the Hyacinthus orientalis. Originally it comes from Turkey to Central Asia, where it grows between rocks at an altitude of 2000 m. The story goes that Ogier van Busbeke, ambassador of the king in Spain and diplomat in Constantinople, brought the hyacinth to the Low Countries. It was described by Clusius in 1557. Originally the color was blue and the flower single. In the 18th century, many new varieties were created as a result of intensive crossing and selection of the plant
