Hyacinthus orientalis
Hyacinthus orientalis (common hyacinth, garden hyacinth or Dutch hyacinth), is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant, native to southwestern Asia, southern and central Turkey, northwestern Syria, Lebanon and northern Israel. It was introduced to Europe in the 16th century. It is widely cultivated everywhere in the temperate world for its strongly fragrant flowers which appear exceptionally early in the season, and frequently forced to flower at Christmas time.
Hi Dandoucette, Yes I had series of pictures to be uploaded so didn't change the dates. I spotted them in mid-March. Thanks for reminding.
Hey Chetna, I'm just curious about the dates you spotted this and your daffodils. Both of these flowers are done blooming way before august. You might want to change the dates to sometime around march or april.
