Deep Purple Hyacinths

The "black" hyacinth flowers I posted a couple of weeks back

have started to pop open

and they are not the colour they appear on the screen! This is my usual camera problem with purple. Try to imagine the flowers in the photo above in this deep purple colour:

because that's what they look like. Wonderful! And on top of them looking gorgeous, the warmer weather over the last couple of days seems to have brought out their fragrance so they are perfuming the whole yard.
