My flower gardens are shabby collections of “survivors” — perennials that persist despite the adverse affects of my neglect and foraging herbivores. Last fall a friend gave me some bulbs to stick in the ground and promised they would be worth the effort. Well, they’ve been blooming for about a week now, and they’re beautiful!

As luck would have it, Donna, a landscape professional and excellent photographer, published a great post on Allium this morning — saving me the trouble of trying to discuss a topic that I know little about. I strongly recommend that interested readers visit her post at

Thanks Nick. Glad you posted it. Beautiful Allium, love that color. I do know a few red varieties and the one you have is a beauty.
Wow, such vivid color. Beautiful photos Nick. 🙂
Thanks. Every now and then I enjoy experimenting with my 105 mm macro. A stationary target can be relaxing too!
I like how the background shows in the third picture! Nice photos.
Thanks. My original intent was to post a single image, but I couldn’t decide which was best. Your comment helped with that.
Gorgeous… So glad you planted them! What good timing with Donna’s post 🙂
