NECTAROSCORDUM SHOWS OFF

nectaroscordum doesn't look like much just hanging around the garden, but the view from below is glorious...and, as i've already posted, buds tumble dynamically from their sheaths...
but by crouching low, one can view them framed by the sky.
here is the plain jane look from the top... i plant these among my hostas, and the alliums are so tall and smell so rubbery, that the deer leave these hostas alone for much of the summer.

It's fun to see so many different plants in your garden. This one is new to me too. What a neat plant! Is sure is pretty from below, and the buds are gorgeous!

Thanks! Yup, this one is a winner in every way but the smell!
