hyacinths
Clustered bell blooms
Hyacinths are bulbous flowering plants with dense clusters of fragrant blooms in spring, typically blue, pink, white, or purple.
The name comes from Greek mythology—Hyacinthus was a youth beloved by Apollo, from whose blood the flower supposedly sprang.
The scent of hyacinths filled the garden.
In the plural, hyacinths often refers to the cut flowers or bulbs themselves: She planted hyacinths along the walkway.
