I just received a packet in trade labeled wood hyacinth. Can anyone give me any ideas on what this might be? Thanks.

Jackie, I'd guess it's a Scilla of some sort, (other common names include squills or bluebells. Here's a photo of S. campanulata: http://www.eseeds.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=24861&prmenbr=127
