Purple Onion Flower

This purple flower is called Allium. I found this purple flower among a bunch of tulip flowers. I thought for a second it was part of the tulip family, but my son told me it was an Allium plant. Allium is part of the onion genus. Can you believe that it's so beautiful?

  • Azaleas in Chinese is name after bird's name Cuckoo, (coincidentally I found a Cuckoo and took a picture). There is love story between the bird and the flower. long long time ago, there was a girl name Cuckoo she was beautiful and love to help the poor, and she was in love a boy in the village. The emperor wanted Cuckoo became his wife and forced Cuckoo to the palace. Cuckoo missed the boy in village so much and she became very ill, before she died she spit out the blood to a flower and turned into a Cuckoo bird to look for her boy, after that the flower turn red all over. every time  the flower turn red, a Cuckoo will be appear until now...I hope you enjoy the story. 2
