Flowers of veggies normally go unnoticed.... I dont know why, maybe we are so concerned with the harvest of the veggies... the flowers may not be as attractive as roses... but they are worth to look at... This is known as kucai locally or chives internationally. They are in two pots in Kakdah's hanging garden!!....

ReplyDeleteFried kucai is mouth watering, so is cucur udang mixed kucai.... A number of weddings to attend, therefore weekend is rest cum makan-makan!!.. cheers!
I love chives, mine bloom purple though, and they smell heavenly. I just have them in my landscape. One of the first things I planted!
ReplyDeleteWe grow chives around our roses. It's supposed to help keep insects away. Ours also have purple blooms though.
ReplyDeleteChives are such a useful plant to have in the garden. I use then in many of my recipes.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple types of chives (purple and white blooms) - they're basically flowers until they bloom, salad makings after :)
ReplyDeleteThe chive flowers are really pretty. I have the purple kind in my garden. The pictures of your vegetable plot are wonderful: I feel really hungry looking at them...
ReplyDelete>Friends, Bloggers, Blotanists..
ReplyDeleteOh.., so chives are insect repellents.. something new to me.. I dont put them on the ground, instead they are hanged 3 feet up on Kakdah's bamboo frame.. her hanging garden!
Where can I see blue flowers of chives?

They have such great blooms!
ReplyDeleteGood point that many vegetable flowers are overlooked!
ReplyDeleteJust as others mentioned, chive flowers are great tossed on salads, pizzas and sauces. In fact, you can add the flowers from many edible herbs to your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
