Springburst

Paper casing
Extraordinarily
Holds in tight
The hundreds of florets
Until they break it open
As they burst into sunshine,
Ready to form a perfect globe
In the spring garden.

These Allium 'Purple Sensation' are already dramatic and will soon be even more so. I like the silver background here provided by the artemisia. These alliums are stunning bulbs and I'm bound to blip them some more. The afternoon sunshine was a welcome surprise and meant I could do a bit more planting and sowing. Still loads to do.

Have a great Saturday evening all.
