Rosy Garlic (Allium roseum)

Every once in a while during this middle of winter, I remember that i went to the trouble of planting a bunch of bulbs late in the Fall... Martagon lilies, Sicilian Honey lilies, Hyacynths, and several types of Alliums. First time I've planted Fall bulbs in many years. Ooooh, it will be so fun when they come up in the spring! #gardening #allium

Working my way through #covid19 Yep I was fully #vaxxed got it anyway. And it wasn't the least bit mild. 3 days of fever over #102. Today 5th just feels like a chest cold. But as any good #gardener would when expecting a week of rain. And having sprouting bulbs arrive monday. I went out and planted over 200 #bulbs on my hands and knees. Mixed #crocus , #iris reticulata Harmony, grape #hyacinth, PurpIe Emperor #allium , and #snowflakes. Still to plant are blue shades #anemone blanda and a few species tulips.

And also two colors of bachelor button seeds.
