I look forward to many aspects of the Spring season…you can probably tell that by the number garden-related notes that I post and the enthusiasm which I apply to each new bloom category. Well, not to disappoint you, here’s another! The gardens at this Asheville bed and breakfast are filled with a number of varieties of Alliums<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Allium<\/span> is quite a number of varieties of plants that are related to garlic. Some are quite small, that is less than a foot tall, while others are wonderous stand-outs above most of the Spring garden with blooms atop 40 to 48 inch tall flower spikes! Each year, over the past dozen or so years, I have added more Alliums<\/span> to the gardens. They generally bloom at the very end of April through into June, depending on the variety.<\/p>\n

These photos show some of my favorites in my Asheville bed and breakfast gardens. They include Allium christophii<\/span> with its “green eyes” centered in lavender petals; very tall Allium<\/span> <\/span>Globemaster<\/span> with its softball-size blooms, and my absolute favorite: the lower-growing but incredible Allium shubertii<\/span> <\/span>that looks like a huge fireworks explosion! After several weeks it dries out leaving a “skeleton” of the fireworks that can be spray painted silver or gold and used at Christmastime in a large bowl to decorate your home. Amazing!! Hope you enjoy the show!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
