Oh, How pretty Capt. Certainly not a April Fools joke.
I wish my hyacinths would all bloom in a bunch like that, this year I got two blooms out of about 15 plants.

I have some pink ones too, but they only have one or two blooms on each one. The surprising thing is, these started to come up in Jan. and then we had the extremely cold weather in Feb and they went back to being dormant. I am surprised they bloomed at all.

I think the heavy freeze we had in late January confused mine and they just decided not to try blooming this year. The one little bloom starting to open in early January was stunted by the cold and got no bigger.

Such a blue, and I agree, the scent is to die for. I work in a garden where there is a bank of them open at the moment, and I can smell them when I first arrive, the scent is fresh on the breeze. Lovely clear photo, and the bark around them sets of them off beautifully.
