Hyacinthus orientalis (Hyacinth)

This was supposed to be 'Delft Blue', and is growing in a pot with other flowers of this cultivar, but that's obviously not what it is. The deep stripes on the flower lend it a look more similar to 'Ostara'. Who knows! I forced this hyacinth.

Dear Anonymous,

Nope, this is real. I forced the bulb in my basement and brought it up for a little winter cheer in my bathroom.
