Come on people, it's totally wrong for a Hyacinth, it has 3 crowns, the
flowers are starting from ground level and the individual flowers are
the wrong shape, you might as well say it is a mutated daffodil.
As for it being in the Orchid family, balderdash, again the flowers are
totally the wrong shape.

I ruled out hyacinth because the flower stalk seems to come from under
the surface, don't know enough about orchids to hazard a guess at them,
just thought though that the photo was vaguely reminiscent of pleione.

Haw frost here this morning, a bit chilly as well!
