garlic flowers

Filed under: outside in the garden — 5/27/2003

The weekend was mostly cloudy and cool, and thanks to the fact that it’s been pretty dry up till now, relatively insect-free. Ideal for being outside and we took advantage of it to grill some steaks and invite a few people over.

We did get some rain though along with the cool spell, which will likely bring out the mosquitoes. They don’t bite me as much as they do Tricia, perhaps because I eat more garlic than she does.

We decided to wait to hear more opinions before seeing the new Matrix movie; instead we went to see The Man on the Train which was a good decision.

    Hello,
    I have a question for you… a crazy question at that.
    Last spring 2002 I bought some package bulbs that were beautiful flowers. I did NOT plant garlic bulbs they were a bulb yes but they had a flower name and the flower lasted a good 3 weeks. (no where on the package did it mention garlic)
    But some how the flower turned into Garlic!!!! How can that be? My husband has been kidding me that I was crazy to plant garlic…. but I didn’t they were a flower it showed beautiful flowers on the package and they bloomed last year for 3 weeks and never flowered into garlic then!! How can that be?
    Now that we have cut the flower down to the grown leaving the bulb in the ground will it flower into another beautiful flower year after year? also the part we cut down floweredand looks like this… and there are little like seeds can we plant them??
    Thank you for your time
    Have a great and positive day!! :) Kathy James Rau

    Perhaps it was society garlic, which has pretty blue flowers.
