ALLIUM SEEDHEAD

At this stage I am careful to pull the whole stem of Allium Cristophii with seedhead, away from the bulb. These can be fixed elsewhere in the border for display after flowering.

Beautiful photo, Louise. I love alliums and am happy to spread the seeds around...in my own gardens and to my friends. ;-)

Hi Louise - how clever you are to take this close up to remind us that alliums remain beautiful for so long after they've stopped flowering.

I realise I've been awful and not thanked you for your generous contribution to my open garden fundraiser yet. I do apologise.

Also, can you tell me about the Blogging With a Purpose badge you're using to link to me. I'd like to award something to all bloggers who've donated - whether it's a prize, cash or help with getting the site set up. Do you think it will be OK to use/adapt the badge you're displaying for that, or is it part of a specific meme?

They look beautiful yet sinister... I could imagine them in a scene of 'Sleepy Hollow' or some such scarey film.

Love this photo. This is a very interesting plant, I am not sure that I have seen it before.

Hi, I thought about growing that allium next year.
I have been given the 'tree of happiness award' so I'm passing it on to you as one of my fav blogs
