Hi, I had some type of allium in my bridal bouquet. I thought I remember them saying it was part of the onion family?? but I loved the way the flowers looked! Olivia would be loving all the purple flowers there in Ithaca- it's her favorite color!
Sabrina -- purple is my favorite color; no wonder spring is my favorite season! We just returned from points north, where the lilacs were in full bloom. It was fun to get to experience early spring twice in one year!

I love puffball alliums! And the purple theme you have going on here!
I just LOVE Alliums!! I have never planted them in my yard (will get to that next season) but I sure do love seeing them around town.
