Grape Hyacinths Growing Wild
My husband and I found small purple flowers in our yard this spring and they were just so pretty I decided to transplant them next to my Hyacinths and Daffodils. We later went online trying to figure out what they were called. We searched and searched. We tried to Google numerous phrases such as "tiny grassy purple flower" or "small grass like purple bulb flower" and on and on it went. Finally I came across another ladies blog and she said they were Grape Hyacinths also known as Muscari which are members of the Lily Family! I was so excited! Yeah free flowers! Here is one website I found with lots of helpful information on these tiny little flowers, www.gardensablaze.com .
In the picture below the Blue Hyacinths are in the front, then Daffodils, then the Grape Hyacinths in the back.

I have these scattered through my pasture and under trees and have transplanted them successfully. I bought some other varieties to go with them. They have a flat leaf, but the wild ones have a round leaf like star of Bethlehem, but shorter.
