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.

Grape hyacinth, Muscari neglectum.

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!

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.
