Hyacinths are a plant species featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the first episode of the seventh season.
History
After tricking Henry into coming to Hyperion Heights to reclaim his laptop, Lucy loiters in the abandoned community gardens, where she scatters hyacinth seeds onto the soil beds. That night at work, Jacinda finds a quarter and goes to the gardens' wishing well. She makes a wish before throwing the coin in, and magically, one of the flower seeds that Lucy planted earlier sprout from the soil into a fully bloomed hyacinth. ("Hyperion Heights")
In her office, Victoria looks over a handwritten note that Lucy sent her about the blooming hyacinths in the garden. Nearby on a table, a bouquet of those hyacinths sits in a vase. When Detective Weaver comes in with his partner Rogers, he notices the way Victoria is glaring at the flowers and wonders if she means to make them wilt or burst into flames with her gaze alone. ("A Pirate's Life")
Unable to see Lucy because Victoria now has custody of her, Jacinda goes to the gardens, where the hyacinths are growing, in order to leave a letter for her, but she is caught by Victoria, who announces her plans of demolishing the area to build new condos. ("The Garden of Forking Paths")
While Victoria is in her office during an evening, the hyacinths are still on the table when Ivy comes in and tries to offer her support. ("Greenbacks")
As Victoria is nursing a migraine, Ivy ponders if the pollen in the hyacinths are the reason she feels unwell. She then takes the flowers to Eloise, who senses a seed of magic in them, however, she states she cannot harvest it without soil to grow it in. After Ivy fetches this for her, Eloise plucks some of the hyacinth petals and buries them in the soil, she is able to magically grow a plant with liquid capable of triggering someone's lost memories. ("Wake Up Call")
While an unconscious Lucy is staying at the local hospital, a bunch of hyacinths in a vase are placed by her bed.[1] ("Secret Garden")
Paying her respects to Victoria after her death, Lucy visits her gravesite with her mother and places a bouquet of hyacinths there. ("A Taste of the Heights")
When Lucy comes to find Roni at the bar to tell her about Henry's poisoned heart and that he'll die if the curse breaks, Roni confirms that, since they last spoke, she remembers her life as the Evil Queen. She agrees to help Lucy beat the curse with a secret mission she dubs Operation Hyacinth. ("Knightfall")Trivia
On-Screen Notes
- Hyacinths are Cinderella's lucky flowers. ("Hyperion Heights")
