grape hyacinth

Muscari, commonly known as grape hyacinth, is a genus of flowering bulbous plants in the family Asparagaceae.

Grape hyacinths are conical or urn-shaped flower clusters that resemble a bunch of grapes, hence the name. The flowers are usually light blue to purple, although some species are white, pink or yellow.

Note that this flower is not an actual hyacinth, so it should not be tagged as such.
