Today we have a hyacinth to color that is blooming beautifully. The hyacinth owes its name to Greek mythology. Hyakinthos was the son of the Spartan king Amyklas. This overly beautiful young man attracted the attention of both men and gods. However, his beautiful appearance could not save him from his destiny. A magnificent flower grew in the place where he died. When it bloomed, the god Apollo personally named it after his dead friend.
