Bursting!

(It goes ping when its finished!)

I can't wait for Spring. I'm busy planning what I am going to grow this year. What's on your list?

Kiki said...: Beautiful shot..stunning..and so poetic! I am a herb crazed girl..so more herbs herbs herbs...and some new roses too I imagine!; 15 January 2010 23:18
jodi (bloomingwriter) said...: I haven't really planned a whole lot of anything yet, other than I'm going to put nigella all around the borders (it dwindles after a few years here). Reading other people's blogs is inspiring me, though.; 15 January 2010 23:28
Helen said...: Wonderful photo. I've had alliums self-seed regularly, which takes care of those. But as for planting, this year I'll be thinking trees and shrubs – and clearing lots of space to give them room. In 2010, I'm starting afresh with the big stuff.; 15 January 2010 23:41
Liz said...: Aren't Allium seedheads wonderful??

I planted lots of Purple sensation this Autumn and cannot wait for them to comeup!

Very exciting.; 15 January 2010 23:43
Carol said...: Exciting photo! cracked seed casings... like comets ... a whorl... great movement. My ideas of 'which to grow ' have not quite germinated.... I am always late! Drat! ;-); 16 January 2010 03:18

Teresa O said...: What an exciting Allium seed head explosion! I'm redoing a flower bed in the front of the house. Since it's in shade and partial shade should be an interesting challenge, especially since I'll use mostly annuals.; 16 January 2010 05:01
easygardener said...: I have some new Alliums to plant. Is it wrong to hope that some of my plants might have died during our snowy winter. I am that desperate for extra space.; 16 January 2010 14:06
Joanne said...: Great shot of a seed head. I think I will just go with the flow when the mood takes me.; 16 January 2010 14:55

Anna said...: That great photo shouts out ping! No definite plans here yet other than I must finish sorting out my seed box then I will take stock :); 16 January 2010 21:14
Carrie said...: oh god don't you love Allium seed heads!!!? I have two vases of them in the dining room from last year I just adore them, oh and there are 3 stems behind me too. x; 17 January 2010 08:01
Andrea said...: That is what i call AWESOME! Great photo! ...and you reminded me of my once-upon-a-time-favorite Kahlil Gibran. I recall "you have to be patient with the caterpillars if you want to be acquainted with the butterflies"! thanks for that picture, you enduced me to regurgitate and recapitulate, and further dream!; 18 January 2010 09:48
Judybec said...: nice photo!
-- I'm ready for spring too. I'm planning on doing lots of pruning this year. Just got some bottle-neck gourd seeds and I'm planning lots of red flowers for the hummingbirds!; 19 January 2010 21:16
Amy said...: That is a really cool photo! I just read it is allium. I wasn't sure what it was and that's what I like about photos so close up. It makes them interesting!; 19 January 2010 23:43
Di said...: Perfect title for a beautiful photo!; 20 January 2010 00:44
James A-S said...: Excellent picture.
Looks a bit like a choreographed explosion of popcorn.; 20 January 2010 15:48
Carol said...: Lovely picture; 20 January 2010 17:01
Lesley said...: Fantastic photo-in fact all your photos are!

Less what I am going to grow-in the sense of something new. More what I am going to do with what I have got already-edit, move, rearrange!

Best Wishes

Autumn Belle said...: A splendid poem to match an equally stunning photo. Seeing everyone so excited, ordering seeds for planting, I have sowed some in my garden too. Hopefully they germinate into healthy blooming plants.; 20 January 2010 21:41
