Two is better than one!

Ok, I couldn't help it, I just had to play with last night's post. This morning I revisited those glorious Allium in the garden. The drumstick varieties now have these darling little tufts coming out of the top!
As for the unknown Allium, there was this set of "twins" growing into each other and shedding their papery husks together.

In the middle of the night we had torrential rains that totally decimated some of my plants such as the Monardas. It was nice to still have something to focus upon this morning.

Just one

How many blooms does it take to stop me in my tracks? With these drumstick Allium, just one is enough.

Actually I have about a dozen of them in total and in real life they are only about the size of a quarter. But it's enough, enough to stop and just stare with amazement at the beauty in a single bloom.

My intention was to just post one photo tonight, just one. Those of you who know me well are probably laughing pretty hard right now. I guess that for me, flowers are like tortilla chips, I can't stop at one!

But come on, look, here's another Alium, I don't know the botanical name, it was a pass-along plant many years ago. What I can tell you is I've spent quite a bit of time in the garden just watching them slowly emerge from their papery shells.

Ok, I'm going to sign off quickly before you have to sit through a whole compendium of Melanie's latest Allium blooms :-)

Hope to see lots of you this weekend here in my garden or on Sunday at Planting Fields Arboretum. I plan on shooting hundreds of photos there if the weather cooperates.
