A member of the onion family, allium bulbs are amazing, how that slender stalk shoots straight up and supports the flower head. They rarely topple over, and the dried flowers are interesting long after they bloom.
"Mount Everest" comes up to my shoulder. I haven't planted alliums for over a decade, so we're lucky to still have a few scattered here and there.
This is a picture of the garden back in 2011. So many! The girls loved them when they were little.
A cloudy, wet day dawns in Seattle, although the weather in the northwest is supposed to be perfect for Memorial Day weekend. That's unusual! But then we're usually the contrarians, and when the weather is nice here, it's atrocious across the country.
Considering the forecast, I almost wish we were going somewhere, but the highways are crazy and our neighborhood is nice and quiet on 3-day weekends, when everyone leaves town. We're having some old friends over for dinner Saturday, and that's about the extent of the plans.
