Bloomed: Allium
Commonly known as the "Flowering Onion", allium is a plant with clusters of star-shaped flowers found in colours of purple, pink, green and white. Whilst predominantly located in the Northern Hemisphere, these plants are found over a vast area throughout the world due to their adaptability to different types of growing conditions. The plant emerges from a single bulb, which supports the reasoning behind theallium standing for unity and representing patience and humility.
When left undisturbed by observers, the allium becomes a magnetic orb for pollinating insects. Drawn to its clusters of purple flowers, bees and butterflies can be found to be congregating on the delicate blooms, creating a bouquet of activity.
