Spring Blues

I found these blue flowers today growing in the forest at the Potato Creek State Park in Indiana. There was quite a variety of flowers to be found there as Spring has arrived early this year.

I love these! We call them grape flowers, but I’m quite sure that’s not the correct name.
I like the clear focus on the flower in the foreground with the soft mirror flower in the background. What was your f/stop setting?
Hi! Thanks for your comments
) My F-Stop was 7.1 according to my camera data. Kind of an odd number, but I’m happy it worked

thank you…
In the UK we call these Grape Hyacinths (Muscari) and they do have a similar fragrance to hyacinths though not as strong. They are beautiful flowers.

Yes, these are grape hyacinths in the US as well. Lovely fragrance.
They remind me of a fancy skirt with a bit of lace petticoat showing beneath the hem.
Nice composition and good color.
I can almost smell them:)
I so adore grape hyacinths!! Marvelous photo!
