Friday Flower Facts:

There are very few flowers out there that are legitimately blue, but grape hyacinth is one of the most notable exceptions. It is also aptly named; it looks like a bunch of blue grapes growing from a stem and reaching up to the sky. Be careful with them around small children and pets, though, as they are as poisonous as they are pretty.
