The photo was taken in a garden in Chicago, Illinois.
Order Asparagales : Family Amaryllidaceae : Subfamily Allioideae : Genus Allium. The genus Allium includes hundreds of different species including onion, garlic, scallion, shallot, leeks and chives. The word comes from the Latin word for garlic, They are monocotyledonous flowering plants. I believe that the flowers here are Allium hollandicum, commonly known as the Persian Onion or the Purple Sensation. It is a common garden plant native to Iran and Kyrgyzstan.
The photo was taken with a Panasonic DMC-FZ50 camera. I then adjusted the lighting using ACDSee Ultimate 8.1.

very nice awesome plants
These are gorgeous! Beautiful picture!
Thank you very much, Ellie. I appreciate it.
Since I firmly believe that garlic is the king of vegetables, it seems that alliums are the royal family…
I would agree with you. My wife, not so much. 🙂
She will look long and hard to find a vegetable that is better for you. But many girls don’t like garlic; probably afraid it will give them bad breath…
Beautifully captured, Gary. I love alliums and grow several different types in my garden.
Thanks, Norman. We don’t have enough room for them in our, nor enough sunlight, but there are quite a few in my neighborhood.
Those are absolutely beautiful, the color alone brings a smile to my face!
I’m glad you enjoyed them, Michelle
I l o v e y o u r p h o t o g r a p h y, it’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
I think I have some bulbs that came up this year. I have three unknown plants making an appearance, and the only bulbs I have collected were of these and an iris.
Thanks, Kim. Very creative.
bravo.
Thank you very much, Hamza. I appreciate it.
you’re welcome my friend!
