The scent of hyacinth filling the air is one of spring's most intoxicating fragrances. These bright, tubular flowers are native to the Middle East and south-west Asia and were first introduced to Europe during the 16th century. Adopted by Dutch growers (of course) there are now more than 2,000 cultivated varieties with approximately 60 in commercial cultivation.
