Happy Easter!

Clare & I took an afternoon walk together … and I took my point-and-shoot. This is in a neighbor’s driveway-side garden in front of their house. Don’t know what it is, but finding out, of course!

@vickisfotos Thanks, Vicki! I always appreciate when I can ask my expert for confirmation or at least get it down to genus. Here's the genus page, http://phytoimages.siu.edu/cgi-bin/dol/dol_terminal.pl?taxon_name=Muscari&rank=genus

@danette @digitalrn Vicki is most certainly correct about "grape hyacinth," genus Muscari in the Hyacinthaceae family...

[Taffy]

As Vicki said, it's a grape hyacinth which I learned last year when I posted a shot of it -- and titled it Mysterious Flower! I learn so much on this site!

@vickisfotos @digitalrn @danette @taffy Sci-name = Muscari botryoides; thank you Vicki & Taffy!
