Giant Allium

This is the first full year we've been in our house. It's been an exciting time from a gardner's perspective as the previous owner planted a lot of bulbs. Every few weeks, I'd see something new. At the end of last fall, I decided to add a few more bulbs to the collection. I planted the giant allium (3'5" tall) after seeing some little kid posed next to the flower. Yes, I'm a sucker for great photography on packaging.

The blooms lasted about 3 weeks and haven't disappointed me. I'm definitely glad I chose to grow them as it is something different in my garden.
