Things change and so do Allium tuberosum or garlic chives. The beautiful white flowers of garlic chives in early September (2nd photo) have died but they're now ready to disperse seeds, which look like black sesame seeds!

These are flowers of Allium tuberosum or more commonly garlic chives. Bugs seem to like them. I found a tiny black leaf beetle and a common straight swift butterfly on them (2nd photo).

This is my first time seeing garlic chives growing on roadsides. I love the chives for their smell, eating them on a daily basis by boiling and seasoning them with soy sauce or putting them into miso or Chinese soup, but didn't have the guts to try roadside chives.

From Bud To Bloom of Chinese Chive Flower ニラの花 つぼみから開花
I first saw this bud next to an orange tulip in full bloom. The tulip and the bud were both 30 cm tall and their stems were both straight. Naturally I thought of it as a tulip bud, so finding it two weeks later developing into a full blown flower like in the second photo really surprised me😲.

| Mistook it for a tulip bud チューリップのつぼみかと｡｡｡ |

| Two weeks later ２週間後😲 |

| Standing by itself.... ぽつんと一人、じゃなくて一花 |
What surprised me further is that this is a Chinese chive flower. It's amazing and beautiful that garlic chive has a cluster of such pretty small white flowers....!
If I had known that, I would definitely have taken a sniff of it to make sure that it was really a Chinese chive flower...

チューリップのつぼみと思いこんでました（１枚目）。だってオレンジのチューリップの横で茎がそっくりだったんです。そしたら２週間後びっくり。ちっちゃい花がいっぱい。しかもニラ😲？！ ニラがこんなに可憐な花を｡｡｡ 知ってたら嗅いでました😜
