Grape Hyacinth
Common Grape Hyacinth : Muscari botryoides
Family : Lily
Genus: Muscari (fr Greek word for "musk") ... because some species have a musky scent
You will find these little plants most commonly in the woods.
The bulb is poisonous, but the American species Muscari comosum (and some others) have their flowers used as a direutic and stimulant.
The flowers also have a sweet nectar which bees like.
The root is edible! It can be cooked, and candied. In Korea, it is used as a tonic for stamina, and as an expectorant.
Jugs have an ancient history, dating back to the Romans. They have not changed much si...

I am member of photo judges in my photoclub....criticizing images...it can be tiny details in pictures that can make the difference. Even people that are not used to watch images can see differences between a great image and a fantastic image even when they do not realize why that is....they can sense it. As a photographer you can guide the eyes of the viewer. That's why it is very rare to have a perfect unedited image. Even the greatest photographers in the past did edit their work however difficult it was in those analogue days...:)) I will never use bad words in critiquing images. Most people appreciate my tips I give them....not everyone of course...there was one woman here I can remember (she was Dutch) who I gave a small tip...than she started to swear at me and said that she never had seen someone who made such bad images as I did...:)))

Great deep colors making it standout Connie !! What is well down here is the fact that the central flower is just off center...and it can even be more when you crop out the remnant of the white flower on the right edge....soooo...Connie...I sneaked in two free tips for you here....I only do that with great images that have even more potentials :))) if you don't like them than you just can delete this comment...no problem....;)
Connie Handscomb replied:
Ah... Michel, you are right, there is a "friend" in the corner ... sorry it has bothered you more than it did me. If unedited 'au naturelle' nature's splendour does not suit, I may have to upload a special edition just for you ... or you may not buy, hmm? ... ;)) Nature has its imperfections, as do I , & still I see its beauty. This is your say; I do not delete comments {unless perhaps you start using bad words at me...}
