one of many patches of spring flowers that pushed their way through the grass this year. there was nothing to indicate a bed of flowers was located in this area of our yard and i was so pleasantly surprised at my first spring in this home to see such beauty. i can’t recall what the tiny grape colored flowers are called, so if you know, please let me know.

It is always exciting to see what comes up each spring. I know that the first year I lived in my present house, I was amazed at what came up. This is a beautiful spring image. I think that the purple flowers are Grape Hyacinth. I have some in my yard. Still waiting for them to appear.
a tangled and untended patch of flowers generates its own beauty
Like wild flowers they have made their own exciting appearance. A lovely image, Sherri.
Grape is right. They are grape hyacinths. Our garden should look something like this too but spring is way behind here this year
Elles sont superbes! Bon week-end tout doux, gros bisous!
ho cela fait du bien ! Une belle photo de fleurs
Yes, grape hyacinths. We have those also. I love this simple beauty
A beautiful photo of these wild flowers, the tiny grape colored flowers are blue grape in dutch: blauwe druifje.
Muscari botryoides is a bulbous perennial plant of the genus Muscari and one of a number of species and genera known as grape hyacinth. It is sometimes grown as an ornamental plant.

That is a lovely shot (Elaine beat me to the naming.)
A lovely perspective on these spring flowers.
What a pretty and refreshing sight, now that we have snow on the ground again – yes, on March 18!!!
These are definitely grape hyacinths, and as some commenters have said before, I, too am waiting for mine to appear …
A beautiful image, I also have a picture with those purple flowers in a cluster, can you tell me what they are called?
A beautiful gathering of these strong and spontaneous bulb flowers.

Excellent pops of colors in these flowers!!
