A beautiful clump of grape hyacinth peeping up through the grass and weeds in this photo art image. They create a wonderful display of colour against the green background. Vikram Seth wrote a sonnet that mentions the shy grape hyacinth and could have been written about my garden at this time of year.
Quince bursts in shameless colonies
On woody bushes, and the slender
Yellow oxalis, brief and tender,
Brilliant as mustard, sheets the ground,
And blue jays croak, and all around
Irish and daffodil are sprouting
With such assurance that the shy
Grape Hyacinth escapes the eye,
And spathes of Easter lilies, flouting
Nomenclature, now effloresce
In white and Lenten loveliness.
Vikram Seth
