[NT] Hardwick Hall. Grape Hyacinth (1)

            Spring shots from the magnificent gardens of the National Trust's Hardwick Hall. It was a very overcast dull day. 

Grape hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum).
Grape hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum) is a mid-spring blooming, perennial bulb in the Lily Family (Liliaceae) native to southeastern Europe. It is not a true hyacinth (genus Hyacinthus). The name of the genus, Muscari, comes from the Greek word for musk, referring to the scent produced by the flowers of many species in the genus. The common name comes from the resemblance of the clusters of the small, bell-shaped, cobalt-blue flowers to upside-down clusters of grapes.

The foliage dies back following flowering in the early summer but unlike many other spring-blooming bulbs, it starts growing actively again in mid-fall and persists through mild winters.
