hyacinth
Clustered bell blooms
A hyacinth is a bulb flower known for its dense clusters of fragrant, bell-shaped blooms in purple, pink, white, or blue.
Native to the eastern Mediterranean, hyacinths are spring garden staples: The hyacinths are finally blooming.
The word also names a reddish-orange gemstone, a variant of zircon. (Capitalized Hyacinth is a given name from Greek mythology.)
