FOTD 22nd April 2024: Allium

Actually it is an ornamental flowering onion, according to the Wikepedia description, but it does not look much like an onion. I have had them a few years in my garden and they are always good for an impressive flower. At the moment they are busy with their buds. From the size it looks like it will be a good year. I just hope it does not get very much colder, although I do not think that will damage them. At the moment we are a cold spell and now and again we even get a few snow flakes. Our local mountain is now quite white at the top which is unusual for this time of the year, but the weather gods tell us it can only get better.

Some do seem to have large teeth. I wonder if they ever have a dental problem.

I am not even going to go into my various problems over the years. Today I have a few gaps where there used to be a tooth, but nothing you would notice. I have one false tooth inserted when I was 20 years old in England and that is still there and …. yes I have one gold tooth. Why not, you cannot see it and it is quite strong and good.

Otherwise at the age of 77 I still have most of my own teeth and I no longer go as often to the dentist as I used to. Dentists must be the rolling in money according to what I pay for a simple hour’s work. Our Swiss dentists are not covered by any nsurance unless you want to pay privately, but it would cost too much. It is one of the reasons why I no longer bother so much. If something dramatic would happen, I would pay them a visit, but otherwise I like to save my money for other necessary tasks. Perhaps I could make steel teeth like that guy in the James Bond film “Jaws” that would be the solution.
