Yesterday morning i was thrilled to see one of my favorite wildflowers growing in our yard! I was getting ready to go out with some friends for the day so I didn't take the time to photograph them just then. I wish now I had. They were wet from a rain storm and looked fresh and sparkly as the morning sun shone on them. In the afternoon I took some photos but they didn't look as pretty as my memory of them from the morning.
Nevermind, I am trying to be less perfectionistic anyway and they are still there so I took some more photos this morning. It is amazing how their color seems to change with the time of day. They look more purple in the photos I just took.
Based on my internet research, I think they are
grape hyacinth (muscari botryoides)
The first two photos below are from this morning. The next two are from yesterday afternoon. They look much more purple and grape-like in this morning's light. They are really quite small. These are enlarged a lot.

| This one is quite pretty too. It's so small it's difficult for me to get much detail. It looks almost like an orchid | | | |
