Single Grape Hyacinth Spike

A grape hyacinth (Muscari) rises on a single slender stalk in a patch of short grass. Pale lavender and blue bell-shaped blossoms form a tight cluster at the top while the background falls away into soft, out-of-focus green. The topmost florets are nearly white while the lower bells are deeper blue, and a curled basal blade is visible at the stem's base.
