Description
No idea about the name of this wild flower...Barb (goldie) was kind enough to look for the name of this plant, and thanks to her help, I can say that this plant is called "Muscari comosum", in english :" Leopoldia comosa"

Je ne sais pas quelle est cette inflorescence, mais ta photo est super esthétique au niveau des formes et des nuances de violet, tout cela rehaussé par un joli bokeh vert........magnifique macrophoto, Jean-Claude !
This is a beautiful "flower." I did a quick search for wildflowers in France, but couldn't find this plant. Perhaps you could contact a local horticultural group to see if they could help identify this plant. Would be interesting to see the leaves of the plant--could help to determine to which family it belongs.
Update: This is a Leopoldia comosa or commonly known as a tassel hyacinth or tassel grape hyacinth. It is one of a number of species and genera also known as grape hyacinths. It is found in rocky ground and cultivated areas, such as cornfields and vineyards, in south-east Europe to Turkey and Iran, but has naturalized elsewhere. In southern Italy, Portugal and Greece, its bulb is a culinary delicacy.
Wow! You are very effective as a botanist, Barb! You are right, it's a Muscari comosum, known in french as "queue-de-poireau", "muscari chevelu", ou "ail à toupet" (infos wikipedia). Thank you very much for your help, my friend!
That is beautiful. I used a search engine and it looks like Leopoldia comosa (or tassel hyacinth or tassel grape hyacinth)

Une superbe photo de cette fleur particulièrement originale de belle couleur, bravo JC
Etrange fleur en effet il me semble qu'enlever la partie de fleurs à gauche aurait rendu la photo encore plus efficace
A great picture again my friend and sure a flower for butterflies and bees which need them to survive and take care of our survival.

Beautiful hyacinth. I only know the perl hyacinth. But the wild form with the tassels is a thousand times more interesting. Fantastic photo, Jean-Claude.
étrange peut-être, mais superbe de même que la prise de vue!
Excellent
Muscari is quite common in Sardinia
Beautiful blossom and photo! I must apologize for getting so far behind on your art! I don't know how that happened! I must be showing my age. Anyway, many fine kudos on this beautiful work!
