Hyacinth orientalis Mirtilos (Blueberry)

I went out in the garden to do some weeding and couldn't resist this color. The name Mirtilos means Bilberry or Blueberry (Spanish?) and I think it was aptly named. These are very strong and tall hyacinths but this spot has shade in the afternoon. (The reason the photo looks sideways is that this bloom was so heavy that it was leaning over. )
