Before we moved to this property, previous owners planted a bunch of pretty Grape Hyacinths along the road and I've been enjoying them this year as I always do. Unfortunately I'd been too busy to take their picture until now and I was worried that they would be too far gone to get a nice image. I was really happy to see that even though the bottom blossoms have shriveled up, this image shows how the flowers bloom from bottom to top, with dead ones below, peaking blossoms in the center, and buds still to open at the top! What neat flowers they are!

Thomas Stearns Eliot OM (September 26, 1888 – January 4, 1965) was an American publisher, playwright, literary and social critic and "arguably the most important English-language poet of the 20th century". Although he was born an American, he moved to the United Kingdom in 1914 (at age 25) and was naturalised as a British subject in 1927 at age 39. Wikipedia: T.S. Eliot
