In a neighbouring town, a group of committed gardeners have created a new and lovely park filled with beautiful bulb plants, perennials, flowering shrubs and all on the grounds of an old seed supply company. Although the park is small, there is a surprising selection of plants to look at. The display of allium last summer was especially attractive and while they obviously make wonderful colour photographs, I chose black and white to emphasize their ‘architecture’.
This Purple Allium is a perfect spherical ball of petals. It is now fully grown and at its very best. Hard to believe it is of the Onion family isn’t it? We have huge white ones too. / The shop NEXT have one for sale framed, it is white.and very expensive.

Mar wanted to see what it would look like, well Mar it did not turn out all that well because the flowers were not as well defined as usual, being so small, but this is it.
This Allium, a member of the Onion family is growing in the garden, and just asked to be abstracted.

The flower of the Onion makes a nice pic.
This looks like a starburst, doesn’t look like an Onion does it?, but it is of the Onion family. Straight from camera, no messing with

I have been going through a phase where I am taking flower photos. This was taken in a friends garden a few springs back. It is a beautiful Allium called a ‘Lucy Ball.’ Here is some info I got from the internet- The Allium ‘Lucy Ball’, ‘Allium’, a fall planted ornamental onion bulb, will produce large flowers. This award-winning variety has sweetly scented, dark rosy, lilac flower heads, that are tightly packed and sitting at the top of tall, thick, bare stems. They are great for ornamental value and widely used for both landscape and cut flower purposes. The blooms are pleasantly fragrant and this plant is an easy and prolific addition to the garden. Alliums will grow in any average soil, doing even better in rich, well-drained soil. To achieve a successful visual effect, 10 to 15 bulbs should be planted close together. Alliums prefer to be dry in their dormancy. The Allium Lucy Ball is ideal for containers, mass plantings, borders, and cut flowers. These plants are rabbit, squirrel, and deer resistant. Lucy Ball has a bloom period of about 3 weeks and they bloom in late spring to early summer. Fuji FinePix S5600 bridge camera, f/3.5, shutter 1/140, ISO 200
