Common Hyacinth
Well known all over the world, I suppose.
Common Hyacinth is native to Turkey, Lebanon, Israel and the now war suffering Syria.
It’s the birth cradle of more then 2000 hybrids after being introduced to European gardens in the 16th century.
Nowadays it is widely cultivated everywhere in the temperate world for its strongly fragrant flowers that bloom in brightly coloured clusters.
Dutch name : Hyacint
German name : Gartenhyazinthe
Latin name : Hyacinthus orientalis
The picture below shows a wild Hyacinth, the Bluebell.
