Now that the irises are blooming, the daffodils are going to seed (because I haven’t deadheaded them all), and the tulips are starting to fade, I have a late-blooming bulb that is making a brilliant blue showing.
It looks like a hyacinth — similar leaves, growth habit, and appearance when the flower stalk first emerges — but as much as I Googled, I was unable to find a similar version. It looks a little like wild hyacinth, so for now, I’m calling it my pretty-blue-bell hyacinth.
UPDATE: It happens that someone posted a query on the Garden Web forums about Hyacinthoides Hispanica, or wood hyacinth, and a subsequent image search shows that my image matches! Another farm resident identified!!
