Frozen Grape Hyacinth

Legend has it the origin of hyacinth, the highly fragrant, bell-shaped flower, can be traced back to a young Greek boy named Hyakinthos who was killed by a strike to the head by Zephyr the god of the west wind. Apollo named the flower that grew from Hyakinthos's blood hyacinth
