Let us out! Let us out!

Works better on large view .
These hyacinths look as if they are desperately trying to escape from their prison - the orangery at Osterley Park.
I think they put hyacinths at the windows in the orangery every year. I certainly remember seeing some last spring. They're a bit starved of light, though, and the stems on each plant grow forward so that the flowers touch the windows in an attempt to get as much light as possible.
Poor things, didn't you attempt a rescue. Well spotted, they are a pretty colour.

On the thumbnail I thought it was a reflection shot. Pleasantly suprised!!

It is a pity hyacinths are in the wrong place but I like the composition of your picture.

:-) They certainly look as though they are beating at the window!
The scent inside must be quite overwhelming with all those hyacinths indoors.
