Tag: Alliums

The giant alliums have put up their starbursts of flowers in our sidewalk treebeds — mostly purple, plus this one even-larger white specimen. These bulbs were planted a few years ago and seem quite happy to come back every spring.

I love the way the globes of these alliums intersect and overlap, like adjacent spherical pyrotechnic bursts.

That’s no moon — it’s a giant purple allium!
