According to Greek myth, Hyacinthus was a youth dearly loved but accidentally killed by the god Apollo. To preserve his memory, Apollo caused the flower we now know as the hyacinth to sprout from the blood of the beloved youth. It is a flower favored for its fragrance in many gardens and survives as a lasting tribute to the ill-fated youth of the ancient myth.
