 |             lightinthedark: I remember as a kid picking them and placing them a glass of water with food coloring Tomales them different colors  Srchng4Truth: It really is a beautiful flower. I don't believe I have ever seen one before. Thank you for sharing  xx  sarah_spirit in reply to Finger5: It’s an onion flower .. last year I grew onions for the first time .. I planted two rows and it was a little late .. I harvested most of them but a few were tiny .. didn’t flourish.. this year I let my veg patch go fallow .. I usually dig over and prepare but I didn’t I let it go wild .. I was surprised to see a couple of them throw flower spikes up and as I’ve never seen them like that I left them to grow .. so glad I did they ate beautiful and the bees love them lol  Finger5: I saw something similar on a YouTube video recently, it was more of a seed head with loads of tiny onions about the size of grains of rice.  DawnStorm: Reminds me of the original programme Cosmos ….Carl Sagan …imagine we are a dandelion …lol sarah_spirit in reply to DawnStorm: Does it .. it does kind of resemble a dandelion lol I’ve never seen it  Sir Loin: I let my garlic produce flowers like this, When they die back the bulb has a stronger flavour and is easier to break into cloves. And snowdrops will change colour in the same way if you add a few drops of dye to the water in a vase.  CatcherAl: It's really sad about the bees. They were the worker bees and supposed to bee busy all day long. When they got back to the hive the Queen bee smelt the onion with maybe a touch of garlic too and accused them of dining out at the Newly Opened French Restaurant in town. Despite their blee's/plee's of innocence they were ejected from the hive and had their wings clipped. Luckily no jail time as previous to this incident they had an exemplary record. ( Note from Editor in Chief:- wing clipping is not a complete disaster as they grow back within three months)
sarah_spirit in reply to Sir Loin: Ahh really .. I’ve never grown garlic .. a few flowers are like that aren’t they .. but I do love to see the white of the snowdrop as winter fades …it warms my heart ..so white I. The dark days .. a reminder of better things to come .. xx sarah_spirit in reply to CatcherAl:  ha ha 😂 Phew I’m glad no bees were really harmed in the making of this 😂  lost_444: Love snowdrops and bluebells and barefoot through the meadow. Don't get meadows in east london lol sarah_spirit in reply to lost_444: I love all of those .. aww .. you should plan a get away .. I’m sure there will be some hidden gems you just don’t know about nearby xx lost_444: It would take some planning. When an attack (anxiety) happens, everything stops, sometimes dont get out for weeks |
Never let one flower before I’m glad I did the bees 🐝 love it 💕
