I have purple spiked globes on the tops of all of my wild onions. What are they? Is that the flower? It's hard.

TK, I have also seen this, and do believe it is the flower.

Cool. They look sci-fi certified. Did you by any chance successfully collect seeds from them. I would love to but I don't know how. I can plant as many as I want because they produce so many bulb babies but someone may want me to send some and that would be better with seeds I think.

Never really looked too closely at the plants. Though the spikes do make an added interest to them.

I'll see if I have a picture of my
alliums going to seed..

*RREMIND ME ABOUT THIS IF I FORGET*

Allium

No that's not it.

You know what a popcorn seed looks like right? Imagine glueing a bunch of those together pointy side out and then dieing the whole thing purple. and it started out alittle below the top of the wild onion but then grew until the tip was gone. So now they are on the top. They had a membrane around them at first but now that has broken open and it is just these hard little clusters.

are the little hard clusters purple too? Was thinking may be those were the seeds, maybe, possibly, perhaps, could be...may be.

It's hot, and I'm delierious.

I don't know. Today the clusters popcorn seed thingy developed long strings from their points. I'm definitely beginning to think alien here. Or maybe it is just the heat.

Tammy, go find my photobucket album and
I know there's a picture of my walking or noding
alliums...
See if it looks like those???

I know I already replied to this post. But the reply isn't here. That's the second time that has happened to me. Grrrrrrrrrh.

I'm heading for the webmasters corner.

Weezie, if that isn't it I think it is very close. Yours looks much bigger. I didn't know there were ornamental onions. I didn't know there were that many different flowers on different types of onions. Now I'm interested in seeing my "domestic" onions bloom and the chives just to see which ones I have and if I can identify them. This is so cool.

Well I need to get out there today and chop down the rest of the coriander it's brown about half way up now and I don't think the seeds are going to get any larger lol. That was a very fun experiment.

The chives and the alliums Bill posted,
will have a bunch of little shiney black seeds
at the end of each spike in the flower..
The ornamental allium that I have, is called a
walking onion or nodding onion, and the flower is the same, but then turns under and back..
and when it forms it's seeds, the seeds are actually new bulbets...
When the stalk of the plant dies, and they fall
to the top of the dirt is where a new plant will
be the following year...

And there's quite a few different ornamental onion's/alliums.. oh, some of them have the prettiest colors of yellow and pink..and purple and white.. and blue!!!!

Well I'm going to watch it very closely cause I want some of them in another location lol. Isn't that the way it goes?

Weezie, what's the address of your photobucket?

Here ya go Sheri!!! Weezie\'s Photobucket Album

I still have a ton more pictures I have to put
in, just haven't down sized them yet!!!

Gosh you're pictures are so pretty. So many different kind of flowers.

I have a ton more, just gotta get them down sized.
I have so many plants here I can't keep track of them any more..

And thanks for reminding me, I wanted to get back to this post...
I wanted to take pictures of the alliums that are
going to seed to show Tammy and my husband dropped our camera last night so, now I don't have a camera to take one for her.
I will try to see if I can borrow f~i~l's...

Serve hubby cold pizza for dinner. Naughty naughty hubby........BAD.

Poor Weezie. Tell naughty naughty hubby he has to make it up to you. (And milk it for all it's worth.)

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy, we did have pizza tonight..
*and chicken wings* couldn't get them cold..

No, he didn't do it on purpose..
Greasy hands.
He was helping a friend try to figure out what
happened to his lawn mower, it just quit running,
and he uses these as his living, and doesn't have extra bucks to get them fixed, so he was helpin' him out...
they took pictures of it as they took it apart and slippppppppppppped right out..
We have one of those little pocket one's you can get at Wally~World for a couple of $$$'s but haven't figured out the downloading part..

I can't help much with that. I just plugged it in and the pictures would show up in the program that came with the camera. Sorry.

I was just teasing. Sometimes it comes out kind of heavy handed.

....and this is what they look like lol.
