My Tiger Lilies are blooming! Well ok, they’re almost done blooming, but the last two or three weeks they’ve been blooming their lovely heads off. I can’t believe how vibrant their colors are – such bright oranges. They really pop in the garden!

Single Purple Allium flower
I have a few clumps of purple Allium flowers growing in my front garden beds. Allium flowers are related to the onion and garlic family – however these plants are ornamental and I don’t believe that they can be eaten.
I have to remember to move the Allium that is growing at the end of my flower bed near the sidewalk this fall. I think kids walk by on their way to school and pull off the developing flower buds in mid June so I end up with these long green headless stalks instead of beautiful flowers at the end of my garden bed.
Do you grow Allium?
Doesn’t nature create beautiful patterns?
This flower is known as Scabiosa or more commonly a Pincushion flower.
I thought mine had died out, but to my surprise several of these lovely flowers started coming up in my front flower bed this year. The petal pattern is lovely when viewed from above isn’t it?
