Muscari sp.
The spring is the great time to visit our garden, especially before someone send some guys in to cut that beautiful carpet of Mediterranean spontaneous herbs and flowers. Here, one of the discreet ones, the grape hyacinth, quite small and usually overseen and lost among that higher herbs. It produces blue-violet spikes of tiny flowers on a stem standing not more than 10-15cm tall, spike itself not more than 3cm in length. It is a perennial bulbous herbaceous plant.
Spontaneous spring growth in our garden, urban environment in Mediterranean. Located at outskirts of Dubrovnik, on lower slopes of Srdj mountain, the garden is terraced and covered in Mediterranean fruit trees and wild plants (photo No 5).
