allium

They say that they are purple, but they looked pink to me.  They're not spectacular and huge, but for a first try with allium, I thought this would do.  They were so cheap, I nearly went for 50 but then I noticed that they needed to be 3 inches apart and I don't have room for 50 ANYTHINGS that are 3 inches apart so that settled that.

Allium is latin for garlic in my world.  There is a (quite lovely) polyphonic song called "Spem in Alum" (I think).  In my family, it's called "Spam in Garlic".  We do have our fun, don't we.
