Chives & Marigolds


There is something about the chives growing in the garden box by the driveway that I really love.    They grow straight up and I look forward to seeing them each year at the end of summer.  The blossoms are white now, but  as fall comes their color will fade, they will be all tan, and will be interesting as well.   Without the Marigolds in the background, however, this photograph wouldn't be as interesting.

Chives? Like the edible things you chop up and put in food? Never would have guessed. Your photos and comments always impart interesting info. Thanks!

Yup. same thing. The chives we eat are the stalks themselves, not the flowers on top.
