Passend zum Zeitgeschehen teile ich gerne mit euch mal (wieder) das Ergebnis einer explorativen Gartenexkursion. Heute kommt Stachys Byzantina (Peixinhas da Horta) auf den Teller* 😀 😋 🌱
*Bitte nur aus dem eigenen Garten, sicher bestimmt und erstmal wenig und auf Verträglichkeit probieren.
Common Drone Fly (Eristalis tenax) on Daffodil Garlic (Allium neapolitanum). This is in the south facing bed by the track at the front of the house, backed by a 3m high wall.
Seriously, this edible onion has been an absolute star in the garden, a mass of star shaped white flowers in late summer

Allium neapolitanum is a BULB growing to 0.3 m (1ft) by 0.1 m (0ft 4in). See above for USDA hardiness. It is hardy to UK zone 8 and is not frost tender. It is in leaf from October to July, in flower from March to May, and the seeds ripen from May to June. The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by Bees, insects. Suitable for: light (sandy) and medium (loamy) soils and prefers well-drained soil. Suitable pH: mildly acid, neutral and basic (mildly alkaline) soils. It cannot grow in the shade. It prefers dry or moist soil.
I'm looking after a client's Welsh Onions (Allium fistulosum). They are neither Welsh nor onions, being more like chives. In the same way Chinese Cedar (Toons sinensis) is neither Chinese nor a cedar.
Scarlet Hawthorn (Crataegus ellwangeriana) in blossom. Apple-ish haws, both are members of the rose family.
