I often trim the emerging flower buds from my herb plants to prevent them from going to seed. The thought is that once they go to seed, the quality of the herb declines. I’m not sure if that’s entirely true, so this year I’ve been letting them flower.
My chives are the first to bloom. I wasn’t expecting the tiny flowers to be so beautiful. It caught me off guard and I actually said, “Wow!” when I saw them for the first time this week.
A burst of lavender like
a star fallen to Earth. I
watch as the stalk slowly
sways in the warm breeze and
wonder at the beauty of it all.
What do you think of these chive flowers?

they really are swaying stars!! lovely!!
Thank you, Linda! 🙂
My pleasure 🤩 stay safe my friend xx
I adore chive flowers, they are so pretty! I can’t wait for my chives to show themselves this spring.
That they are, Dawn! I hope spring arrives soon for you! 🌞
Your chive bloom is pretty. I am reminded of feral chives that grow in the grove of trees near my home.
Oh, wow, I’ve never seen them in the wild. Thanks for the compliment, Swabby.
That’s scientifically true as once a flower blooms the plant tries to give it’s all in making it bloom!
Same here to make the herb more potent… I follow the same and I mainly grow microgreens 😇
But… anyway it’s a beautiful bloom💜
Have an awesome weekend!
Thank you for the confirmation, Aparna. I was fairly certain I had that right! 🙂
Thank you, my friend! I hope you do the same. 🌺
I have the same
That’s nice to know, Sheree. They are both beautiful and tasty! 🙂
Beautiful flower,Richard
I have a lot of herbs ,but I don’t trim the buds,I let the flowers bloom.
I’m going to start doing that, as well, Nusrat. Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
Lavender is one of the prettiest colours in my opinion.
I enjoy cooler tones usually, but this one actually makes you feel warm and peaceful!
And your poem describes that beautifully 🙂
Oh, thank you, Andrea. I’m partial to that color, as well.
Gorgeous, Richard. Fine poem for them too.
You’re very kind, Pat. Thank you.
