    I'd rather paint a picture of themimage I don't think the wintersong pic is an allium for some reason, but I may be wrongimage

    The penultimate is Nectaroscordum siculum, used to be called Allium siculum

    Wow day one and already some brilliant pics. Wintersong they are brilliant pics.

    I took a pic of my first rose, the smell is that typical old fashioned rose smell

    Fraid not Nut...its a good old common allium although I can't remember the variety. It gets very leafy early spring and yellow star shaped flowers

     The bulbs smell of onion and its very vigorous!

     

    Sorry for late reply...I worked a very early shift today and just didn't have the energy to think much so I slapped these up instead!

    Post dinner, I'm a little more compos mentis image so, yes, they are very arty.

    I also cheated, since these are from previous years...my garden is mostly still catching up and as stated, I didn't have the energy to take photos which mostly means getting down on all fours and into peculiar angles!

    I paint in oils, so these are my stock of flower forms and light that I use in my paintings image Imagine large versions of these hanging on your walls and there you go...not just a pretty face.

    Oh go on then, one more just because we can...

    WinterS, would love some pics of your flower paintings. My icon to the left is a detail from one of mine.

    Nut, I think that what I have is Nectaroscordum Siculum, I guess it must be an allium?

    I was probaly an allium when you got it artjak and changed to the more dfifficult to spell word later on

    Only just started looking at the pix - what a treatimage.  Everyone has some lovely plants, and some really clever photographic skills.  Enjoyed it so much I am going back to look at them all over again image
