This unusual plant is formally called the Allium Bulgaricum, but really, it is a member of the well-known onion family, even though it doesn’t LOOK like an onion nor does it SMELL like an onion and it defitely did not make my eyes water when I got near enough to photograph it.
It is quite the unusual flower as it has a cascade of small bell-shaped flowers arching from the center of the plant.These flowers are a wondrous mix of unexpected colors – pale yellow, dusty pink, a light shade of magenta, a bit of bluish-green.
Typically they flower in May and June, but this year I saw a few blooming as late as mid-July.
