Wild Hyacinth (Camassia scilloides)

This April Emily and I participated in a wildflower walk on the Shaddock Trail at Hobbs State Park.  During that walk we found a flower we had not seen before.The Wild Hyacinth is a wonderful addition to our Arkansas wildflower photo history.  It is said the Native Americans and early settlers used the bulb as a food source.  The Hyacinth can be found in open woods and fields.  It is a 20” tall perennial.
