The yellow Molly alliums are in full bloom now.
I've been photographing them over the past several days so you can see the progression from bud to bloom.
These allium bulbs multiply quickly and are easily dug and moved to other parts of the garden. They grow about 30 cm tall and bloom in late spring to early summer.
The bulbs can be dug after blooming. I like to dig them before the leaves fall away from the plant. You can see the size of the bulbs compared to a quarter. Trim all leaves and flower stems before replanting in the new location. Plant a few centimeters below the surface. I like to mark where I have planted them just so that I don't plant something else there later in the season.

Gorgeous alliums Crafty. They would look so superb in any garden. Cheers for sharing the timelapse.
They are beauties! As Stuart said, it's nice to see the progression of blooms. Great idea.
The slide show was a great idea, and fun to watch. Lovely color of yellow.
One of my favorite alliums, could be because it is my favorite color :)
Hi, how and or what did you use to create your slide show?
Hi Stewart, for this slideshow I used Photobucket. If you have an account with them there is the option to create slideshows.
