Floral Friday ~ Allium

Allium …. a striking cut flower.  Most varieties are the perfect shade of Ultra Violet, 2018’s PANTONE® Color of the Year.  One of the best flowers for statement pieces such as corporate work, it makes for a grand presentation in stylized arrangements or simply grouped in a vase.

Allium, aka Ornamental Onion, is a member of the onion family.  You probably already knew that by the smell.  It includes hundreds of species, including the cultivated onion, garlic, scallion, shallot, leek, and chives.  Cut flower varieties are cultivated specifically for the blooms.
