Hyacinth

Grape hyacinth. I liked the way it looked against the rock. It was just a little thing about six inches tall. If these are grape hyacinth, what kind are the ones we get at Easter that have open petals?

    Oh, this is an especially nice composition. Your colors pop. I know what a dwarf this plant is, and yet you got right down to get the perfect shot; great focus, DOF. ML

    I love these. They seem so delecate, yet here they are, growing in Maine.

    I have NO idea about the ones at Easter. I think these are just way prettier though.

    I like this shot. I have these in my yard, too. They grow like weeds, so I'm very good at growing them.:)

    Nice, Becky! Great color and detail. YOu had to get way down to get this perspective. The rock is a perfect backdrop. And, the ones you see at Easter are hyacinths, as opposed to these-- GRAPE hyacinths. Confused??

    Oh, I love the color of these! From your post below, bleeding hearts remind me of being 5 b/c we had a beautiful plant in our yard then. And, your cows are so cute...you seem to have a way with animal photos! Thanks for clarifying on the kayak. :) You'll have to get some action shots one day.
