This Nodding Onion bud was seen when we spent a very enjoyable day botanizing J. Edworthy's land, past Black Diamond on July 29th. I didn't notice the little green visitor (maybe a Shield Bug?) until I went to crop this supermacro image : )

The species name "cernuum" refers to the crook in the flower stem. Apparently, it is one of the better-tasting wild onions.

There are 500 species of Allium in the world, only four of them here in Alberta.
