Bumblebees love Green Onion Flowers





Green Onion has flowers?   Yes, these big round balls are the flowers of the green onion plants.


These green onion plants are about 4 feet in height.  



Believe it or not, these came from the roots of the regular green onions bought in the grocery stores.   After the green parts were consumed, I put the white parts with roots in the ground.  After a couple of years, after being irrigated with water, after being nurtured by rabbit poops, they grow into 4-foot tall plants.




The flower balls are actually cluster of hundreds of individual flowers.  




The ball almost looks like a bridal bouquet. 




There are bumblebees on these flowers day and night. 





The nectars must be extra tasty for the bumblebees.
