A Nod to Grape Hyacinths

     I have under-appreciated a small crop of grape hyacinths (muscari) in my front garden. Yes they are heralds of  mid spring, filling in between the early showy daffodils and the later peonies and iris, but I always viewed them as somewhat insignificant. However, after I photographed them, viewed them on a PC monitor and zoomed in on the plants, I was intrigued by the flower spikes and the delicacy of each tiny blossom (which look like grapes at first bloom but open into a bell shape as the flower matures).
