There are multiple patches of this growing up next to the back of my house. We’re in western Michigan. This is our second spring in the house and I’m pretty sure we didn’t have this growing last year.

    Kinda looks like my mother’s Dafodils

    Might have to wait until they bloom, or at least until they develop a bit more to be able to identify them accurately. I’m guessing either Spanish Bluebells, a daffodil cultivar, or another type of hyacinth. The leaves look too plump to be daffodils (according to what I’m familiar with), which is why I lean hyacinth of some kind.

    Looks like hyacinth to me! Soon you’re going to have some beautiful purple, pink, and/or white flowers.

    Hyacinth. They will bloom soon.

    Those are (Hyancinths) Ayarlekoko Butatembes.

    The second part is obviously a joke

    Nice score! A whole bunch of hyacinths coming in! That’s awesome they’re super beautiful 🪻🪻🪻

    Edit: that emoji is literally what they’ll look like

    Update: apparently my husband says we did have flowers back there last year and based on pictures and his memory he thinks they’re hyacinths. I was heavily pregnant at this time last year so my memory may not be the best 😂

    Maybe hyacinths, maybe scilla or chionodoxa or puschkinia or muscari. Its hard to tell for sure this early

    I was going to say bluebells, but they are a variety of hyacinths. I have Spanish and English bluebells plus hybrids. These are all naturalised as I never bought or planted any.

    The Spanish bluebells are just beginning to flower, then it will be the hybrids, finishing up with the English.

    My pink hyacinths (the sort you grow indoors) always get planted out after they finish flowering. They are now in full bloom. Oh, and the four bulbs I planted out originally have spread.

    I’m sure I never had a blue hyacinth bulb, so I don’t know where that came from.

    if this is grape hyacinth, you will never ever ever be rid of them. i’ve been doing battle with them in my yard for 4 years… and im losing.
