Alliums




 
Alliums are so much fun! I love how tall they are and how they add color in early spring. They are an easy to grow bulb that is planted in the fall. There are different sizes and you can find a few different shapes and colors. I just learned that it is best to cut down the flower stalks when they are finished blooming so that the bulb can store energy for next year. I haven't done that consistently and have noticed that some of my alliums haven't come back. so I need to remember to do this.  I think the dried flowers could be painted and used as fairy wands....
