I have absolutely no clue as to what kind of flower this is but they are so beautiful and fragrant. These were found in Vancouver BC Canada while my hubby and I vacationed there for our anniversary.

A special thanks to AnnDixon and my friend Tami for pointing out these are called “Alliums” :)

    These are BEAUTIFUL!! And I also have NO clue of what they are myself. But there wonderful to look at. They kinda look like those marshmallow puff thing you eat. It kinda makes me want to eat one….Maybe looking at them isn’t a good idea for me after all… LOL but O’well. Beautiful capture all in all. great work Cassandra :)

  • They were so beautiful I couldn’t pass them up, in fact they were the first thing I ran to right from the car. They do look like marshmallows you could eat but if you saw how many bees were on these things you wouldn’t want to eat them ;) hehe thank you so much for your kind words..they mean a lot.
