Honey Garlic #ShadowshotSunday

Today, I spotlight an unusual allium in my front yard.

 

Taken May 29

Allium Bulgaricum, also known as Sicilian Honey Garlic, is an unusual ornamental allium currently in bloom where I live, and is apparently used as an herb in some parts of Europe (especially Bulgaria) but I have never eaten it and don't recommend any of my readers try to eat it without a lot of research.  Here is more information on its use as a flavoring.

I've had this plant for years and like its unusual blooming habit.

    I believe I've heard of it called something with bells in the name. Pretty at any rate, although if Tom calls it pesky I'll guess it spreads too easily!
