| I visited several gardens in Normandy a couple of weeks ago..and while I wasn't really attracted by "Big Ball" alliums until now, I've pretty much changed my mind after seing a few examples where they were the ones creating "a" sight...look :
In each of the 6 square beds lined by round box globes, a large Hosta sieboldana Elegans, a dwarf hydrangea behind it, oriental hellebores at their feet...and Allium (Purple Sensation maybe ?) Hope you like it too..

| Sorry...I had said "two" nice allium plantings...here's the other one :
There were groups of such alliums now and then in the borders, in this rose garden surrounded by climbers in full bloom...they gave a true "rythm" to the borders... |

| That is fantastic! Is that a shade garden? |

| That first pic . . . adorable, but kind of an 'Alice in Wonderland' effect. A bit other-world-ish(in a fun way of course). I wonder who gets the chore of trimming all those little boxwoods - ugg, glad it's not me! GH- |
