Flowers from the vege garden:
1. Leek bloom and a spray of celery flowers
2. Purple sage in flower, celery flowers
3. Silver beet flower heads, they go high!
4. Nigel 6’3″ takes a stand by lovage flowers
Tapanui, West Otago. New Zealand
Leek flower head – a sphere of small mauve and white flowers sitting atop a tall, upright, very sturdy green stem. So robust! Backed by a big mass of tiny celery flowers which are a whitey-green colour.
Purple sage plant in flower – spikes of blue-mauve flowers and behind are a myriad of tiny whitey-green celery flowers.
Silver beet flower heads – amazingly long stems that reach high and have lots of side-stems of minute green flowers. The main stem isn’t very strong so the flower heads are slowly collapsing.
Nigel stands beside a lovage plant in flower. Its flower stems have grown up very tall, higher than Nigel who is 6 foot 3 inches. The stems are strong and support many yellow plate-like flowers that branch off the main stems.

Very pretty indeed and probably a haven for insects. We had a spring onion in flower one year and the bees loved it. 🙂

My folks let some parsnips go to seed this year, and the stalks go surprisingly tall and with fairly attractive yellow blossoms, like dill I think. And they’ve always liked the decorative alliums but usually let some onion’s blossom also.

I did a post a while back about ‘wild parsnip’ I found in a roadside verge – were the flowers you mention similar to these that are in my post ‘Dill Dill Dill’? Link: https://exploringcolour.wordpress.com/2021/01/24/dill-dill-dill/

Yes very close match. But no ducks around 🙂
