Astonishingly, the chive plants are still in full bloom in the community garden. I love this view, which shows off one of the several colourful murals created by Calgary artist Dean Stanton that are featured prominently in the space. So bold and fun!

    I like chives, and their flowers are so pretty.

      They have amazing flowers! Sometimes I forget to cut them for eating and just grow them for the flowers…. 🙂

    sorry.Wist je dat de bloemetjes ook eetbaar zijn?

    1. Sheryl @ Flowery Prose Avatar

      Yes, they are so delicious! 🙂 I like to use them in salads and infuse them in vinegar for dressing….

    Why don’t I grow chives!? I love the look and the taste–need to plant some next year!

      Aren’t they great? I guess the only drawback is that they reseed like mad…but they’re easy to pull up if you don’t want them.

    The purple of the chives looks lovely against the colorful wall. 🙂

    What great shot of the chives against the mural!

    1. Sheryl @ Flowery Prose Avatar

      Thanks! I don’t know why I never photographed them this way before…the chives are in the herb garden of the community garden and have been in the same place for years, so I should have thought of setting this image up before this. They look really great together!
