Beautiful! It looks slightly different to the blooms on the Hyacinth varieties we usually see over here. Lovely blue! And great shot!

This is beautiful and a lovely blue.
Doesn't look the same as hyacinths grown in the UK.

Thank you all.

TT and Paul I will find a right name for this for sure...in the meantime we can call it a (Fijian) Hyacinth...lol

Sounds good to me! It is obviously just a different variety to the ones we grow. But not very different.

Thanks Paul, for sure I will update soon if any luck...what I find interesting about this flower is that it's a first time for me to see a flower of this type too.
