My First Allium Flowers

For two years, I watched my neighbor's allium flowers bloom, and always admire the ball-shape of these gorgeous flowers. I look for seeds at the garden center, but I hadn't crossed any.

I asked my neighbor for the dried allium flower heads last year, and patiently removed the seeds myself. Then I planted all the seeds that I had gathered just to make sure some of them would survive, and yes one did.

Yup, I was happy beyond words when I saw the bud of this allium. A handful of seeds yield just one flower, but a good one indeed. Well now you know! I'll be collecting the seeds again this year, and plant more of these gorgeous allium flowers.
