Spring Flowers

Earlier this spring I planted some Blue Flax, Nodding Onions and Long-Stemmed Avens in the small flowerbed I created alongside the steps on the front deck.

Today my Nodding Onions are blooming!  These little, somewhat insignificant plants are one of my favorite wildflowers. The plants are thick but low growing, and the flowers are so very delicate. 

They are edible! The bulbs and flower stalks can be used in stir fry; green leaves can be used in salads, and flowers can be used as a garnish. As the name suggests, they have a mild onion flavor. And... they repel deer and rabbits!  Too bad they don't repel house cats, if they did I could take down the "cage" I have around this little garden...
