When you see the chives in flower, you understand that the giant allium that blooms in the perennial bed is in the onion family. It's like a mammoth chive blossom.

About Me
- Magpie
- It's a journal, a scrapbook, a record of my kid growing up. It's about food, it's about the pleasures of gardening. It's where I wear my heart on my sleeve, play with words and rail at the world. It's where I muse, and where I indulge my inner magpie. I have one delightful lonely cat and not enough time to read. If you'd like, you can email me at magpiemusing AT gmail DOT com.

We have alliums in the bed by our mailbox. I love them.
I never even knew they flowered!
We were just laughing about some chives that I've had in a bucket for about seven years. The darned things thrive contrary to the lack of love I bestow upon them (and the abundance of watering that my hound lets loose.) Pretty things.
Remind me not to eat any chives at Woman in a Window's place ...
nom nom nom
I was thinking of growing some chives just because they are so pretty.
Does the allium have a bulb down there? And I wonder if it's edible.
Wow, I did not know this.
Chives are tasty and beautiful!
We will definitely plant these next year--thanks!
Well you know how I feel about onions :) Still working on that post about onions. It's kind of hard for me to hate onions now after seeing this lovely photo.
Our gardens must be in sync. My alliums are in bloom, as are my chives. The CSA gave us a tomato plant today. Yum.
My mother used to grow flowering chives. they always remind me of her
Love them too and I am missing mine.
