How I do love this season in my garden!

 

I adore peonies.

 

And every allium bulb I have ever planted has paid big beauty dividends the following springs.  Every following spring.  Perennials are a gardeners best friend.

 

But nothing pays dividends like the next allium blossom. It’s huge.  For scale, here’s my hand beside it!

 

I love how this large firework blossom looks nestled in among another favorite perennial, various types of ?? (forgot name!!) with their variegated, heart-shaped leaves and blush pink to purple tender blossoms.  I like it when the varieties mix it up and weave in and out between each other.

 

 

Who needs fireworks when you have a showstopper like this blossom?
