Alliums

I have quite a few varieties of alliums all at different stages of bloom. These little ones will be harvested when they are almost entirely a purple, fuschia color. But I think each stage of bloom is incredible.
Here the flower has just cast off its pale purply-pink husk.

Look at these tiny blue beauties!

I call this the hairy allium.
But really when I check on them periodically during the day
it looks like they are dancing in slow motion the way the tendrils unfurl.

I call these my Queen alliums.
These tiny blossoms will continue to emerge and create a sphere of delicate blossoms.
Isn't mother  nature astounding!
