I imagine in the not too distant future, opening a web page will afford one not only the experience of seeing this hyacinth but smelling it too. It is intense. Hyacinths come in white, peach, orange, salmon, yellow, pink, red, purple, lavender and a wide variety of blues.
In the Language of Flowers the hyacinth's color sends a varying message: blue signifies sincerity, yellow - jealously, purple - deep regret, red - playfulness. But a white hyacinth's meaning is loveliness and the offering of prayers for someone. Praying for someone - what a lovely idea.
Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers Neighborhood) said, "To be a truly successful person in the things that matter, three things are necessary. The first is kindness. The second is kindness. The third is kindness." Praying for someone is simply kind.
We might be sitting with this white hyacinth nearby or in hand. If you're familiar with its powerful scent, let it create the atmosphere for your prayer.

A prayer for a child.
A prayer for a sibling.
