The flower named after the beautiful youth killed by Apollo is the Hyacinth. In Greek mythology, Hyacinth was a handsome young man who caught the eye of both Apollo, the god of the sun, and Zephyrus, the god of the west wind.

Tragically, during a game of discus throwing, Apollo's discus was blown off course by Zephyrus and struck Hyacinth, killing him instantly. Legend has it that the blood of Hyacinth sprouted the beautiful fragrant flower that we now know as the Hyacinth.

The Hyacinth flower is a symbol of rebirth and springtime, often associated with themes of love and forgiveness. Its vibrant colors and sweet scent make it a popular choice for gardens and floral arrangements.

If you want to learn more about the Hyacinth flower and its significance in mythology and culture, you can visit The Spruce for a detailed plant profile. You can also explore the Better Homes & Gardens website for tips on how to grow and care for Hyacinth flowers in your own garden.

Whether you are a mythology enthusiast, a flower lover, or simply curious about the origins of different plant names, the story of Hyacinth and Apollo is a fascinating tale that continues to capture the imagination of people around the world.
