A hyacinth is a garden plant that flowers in springhyacinth（風信子）是一種春天開花的園藝植物。It grows from a bulb它是從球根長出來的。

The flowers are small bells packed up a thick stem — blue, pink, or white — and the smell is strong and sweet, almost too sweet in a small room. People grow them in gardens and in pots, sometimes in water so you can see the white roots.

The name comes, through Latin, from a Greek word for several dark-blue flowers; English put back a more Latin look in the 1500s. There is an old Greek story of a youth called Hyacinthus, and a flower said to spring from his blood — that is the name’s story, not a gardening fact.
