Weekend FOTD 12th May 2024: Alium Siculum/Honey Garlic

Another one of those plants that suddently appeared in my garden about 5 years ago. I have no idea where it came from and after searching for a name found that it was some sort of allium, like garlic or onion. It does smell a bit in that direction, but not too strong. I am quite pleased to have, especially as it begins to grow regularly some time in March Now it has burst open and showing its many buds of flowers.

RDP Sunday: Aurora

Let us not get excited. This photo is not the northern lights that everyone seem to have got this week. Apparently the sun had a storm and all sorts of light effects were the result – even the danger of power cuts, although I slept through it all. How was I supposed to know that the light show of the centuary was happening outside my window when I am tucked up in bed and sleeping about 9-10 in the evening. I only heard about it the next morming on the Swiss radio news. I do not even both with television now. Anyhow after digging around in my archives I found something similar. You see it does not have to be midnight, even early in the morning we have our special effects. The sun can wait as far as I am concerned.
