Allium sphaerocephalon
As I strolled past a street-side garden today, there it stood—an enigmatic allium, its shape both unfamiliar and captivating. Allium sphaerocephalon—a botanical tongue-twister that conjures whimsical gatherings. This member of the Amaryllis family goes by several charming aliases: “round-headed leek,” “round-headed garlic,” “ball-head,” and even “drumstick allium.” And oh, the bees! They, too, have taken notice. If you peer closely, you’ll find one dancing upon this floral marvel, drawn by its allure.🌿😊 Enjoy!
