#MuscariNeglectum

The Grape Hyacinth is looking good but I don't think much of the flowers are open. Saw Bombus Huntii inspecting it but she flew off.

A photo showing a small area covered with Grape Hyacinth, Muscari neglectum, There are dozens of blueish flower clusters rising above their grass like looking foliage.

Muscari neglectum or armeniacum. Remnants of years past flower bed cleaning and the weedy, grassy waste dumped on an hillside that isn't watered so the bishops weed and such can't survive, but these did, and one daffodil.

They get no irrigation, it is a south facing slope with no shade in silty sand, yet here they are thriving except for the false spring then 20F that frosted all their tips, but the blooms are emerging!

The flower stalks pushing up in the center of a Grape Hyacinth. The tips of most of the leaves are dead from frost. There is a little blue showing on the flower buds.

The leaves and the internet make ID uncertain. neglectum or armeniacum probably.An overview shot of the area where these are growing. Next to a rock (big surprise), above a brush heap that is along the rock, to their right some native plants, plus grass. This area does not get watered and would be dust dry mid April until fall with many 100+F days in recent years.

Nazarenos

Es habitual que en estas fechas, a caballo entre el invierno y la primavera, comience la floración de Muscari neglectum. Seguramente el tiempo cuaresmal y su color morado serán la causa de que su nombre común más habitual sea el de 'nazareno'.

Estos penitentes, fieles a su cita anual, desfilaban por los prados de la Quinta de Torre Arias.

Madrid. Marzo de 2023.
