Grape Hyacinth / Muscari sp.

When I called in at the Reader Rock Garden on 29 April 2015, there were only a few flowers that were in bloom. These included a few Tulips, a few Hepatica that were already not in the best condition, and several other species. It felt so good to finally see flowers and colour, even though our 2014/2015 winter weather had been amazingly mild. I've only just noticed the off-white, star / snowflake pattern on the unopened buds.
