Wonderful pair of photo, Harry! I have some purple Alliums from my dad's yard. They've already bloomed and gone away.

I'm glad you told us about the buds, because when I first saw this, I immediately thought of cream cheese and chives. The colors are perfect for them. Wonderful bud-filled shots, with the feeling of a very crowded bloom, and wonderful strong light. The top one has light that nearly eats up the colors. And the bottom one has more contrast between light and shadow (and it has more yellow too). Lovely packed shots with lots of eye popping light.
