Hyakinthos

My kitchen growing Hyacinth has started to flower, the scent fills the kitchen when im making coffee...
The name comes from the Greek myths. A young man called Hyakinthos was loved by Apollo. A jealous rival caused the wind to blow hard when Apollo and Hyakinthos were practising with a discus. The young man was fatally wounded, and where his blood came out flowers blossomed.
Apollo called them Hyacinths after the young man.
Beloved by children who watch them grow in glass jars to see the roots forming, and by gardeners who love them to flower early by forcing them.
The lilac scented flowers bring some cheer as the Siberian winter weather is blowing in.
Its cold outside....
