Allium - Then and Now.

Two beautiful views of the flower's life.

Glad you like them Eunice..........thank you.

Espectacular Keith.

Thank you Juan Luis.

most beautiful

Happy weekend:)

We had a good weekend Annemarie...............and hope you have too.

Deux beaux clichés aux couleurs impeccables.

Thank you kind sir.........much appreciated.

Hello Keith ! Fine work as usual*****************

Thank you so much Roséha...........much appreciated.

A beautiful blossom, Keith! Happy weekend!

Thanks Stephan..........appreciated.

The beauty of simple things in nature ! Beautifully captured, Keith !

Indeed. Thank you very much Ulrich.

Das sind wieder Blütenaufnahmen vom Feinsten lieber Keith,das macht es immer aus,wenn man diese Pflanzen auch immer betrachtet,dass sie in anderen Stadien immer noch sehr schöne Motive sind,mir gefällt auch deine andere Sichtweise in deinen Pip total gut :))

Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

I'm very pleased you like both these photos Güni...............and your kind remarks are always appreciated. Thank you.

They are both beautiful pictures Keith. The PiP 'now' has a certain beauty to it, which is very well captured. I find the stages of the flower fascinating. I have some in my garden, but they haven't bloomed so well this year. I'm pleased to see that yours have.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend Keith. Still very warm here but with a slight breeze.

Glad you think so Rosa.........I'm pleased you like these. We only have a few these in the garden, but will be collecting the seed for next year. We find these a bit hit and miss, but we're ever hopeful :-)

They are both so different, Keith !!
I would never have imagined that such vibrant flowers would appear later
I really like also the PIP, it almost looks the tail of an original peacock

Thank you Judite. I really enjoy photographing flowers but sometimes I find the seed heads are much more fascinating than the flower heads. Glad you like both photos.

Lovely photos Keith. My neighbour has quite a few of these flowers in her garden and they are quite tall now.

Thank you Jenny............you should scrounge some seeds from her, I'm sure they'd do well indoors as well.

Both photos are brilliant! Alliums look attractive in all stages.

Glad you like them Gudrun..................thank you so much.

Always interesting to see changes over time and it all happens much faster in plants

Glad you found this comparison interesting Colin............thanks for your kind comments.

Here they already are in the third stage… and they are never so lush, matter of water I guess

Thanks for dropping in and commenting Isabel. Much appreciated.

In meinem Garten wachsen auch einige Allium. Sie sehen schön aus und die Insekten mögen sie auch. Alle Pflanzen, die die Insekten mögen, mag ich auch. Sie sind auch im zweiten Stadium fotogen.

I only have a few in my garden at the moment, but we're saving the seeds from these to plant for next year Wilhelm. Thanks for your lovely comments.

Die Veränderung ist enorm aber die Schönheit bleibt, wenn auch anders...ich mag das schöne große PiP fast ein wenig mehr :)
