The Alliums are making an appearance now that we have had some rain. They love water. Their leaves collect it to save for later. This one has grown a lot since this morning. Bulbs are wonderful that way. I find my excitement building. We put in some new bulbs last year. They are just getting started and have some serious growing to do.
When you plant bulbs with a name like A. gigantium it's hard for a gardener to contain their enthusiasm, but then why should they?

I like Allium. I am thinking of putting in a variety of Allium to bloom throughout the season. I agree, A. gigantium is really striking.
Hi Becky .. I can well understand your excitement girl ! Those giant alliums are eye popping candy to see : ) and yes ! the rain here has also been perfect medicine in warming the earth up and giving the plants that extra boost : )
Allium are great, so dependable.
