The calendar says it is spring and Mother Nature agrees. Early spring flowers are blooming and the honey bees are already hard at work. Below are Grape Hyacinths, muscari, is a perennial bulbous plant native to Eurasia. Most commonly blue, the flowers resemble bunches of grapes.

So interesting Tamara, I posted for my Flowers on Friday series a similar Hyacinth. Although, I didn’t know the name at first…so many new flowers to learn since we moved. Love your bee, happy spring!
I just went and saw your post, very pretty! The Grape Hyacinths are so small, I was laying on the ground to make this image. The bee was quite cooperative for me! Happy spring to you as well!
Ahh the life of a flower photographer, one with the ground 🙂 Thank you, I just found it such a coincidence that we would each post a similar flower. Looking forward to seeing more springtime wonder from Iowa!
I have already done a little bit of scouting of the woodland wildflowers! Luckily for me I have family that have some on their property.
Oh I do miss the grape hyacinth! You had to be down on the ground to get this shot!
I was indeed on the ground! Laying down as a matter of fact….but you know me, whatever it takes to get a shot of the flowers!
Exactly! Happy April to you , my friend!
Thank you Nancy, it’s been a rough few weeks at our house. We lost our best furry friend, Molly, and it has been extremely difficult. It was sudden and quite unexpected.
Oh… I am so sorry to hear. Hugs to you. Losing our furry family is very difficult. My heart is sad for you. Hoping you feel better soon. But I know it is VERY very hard!
