A Spring Souffle - with Onions

Am I hungry? 

The word  "S O U F F L E"  comes to mind as I ponder this billowing spring garden.

Souffle  =   a combination of particular ingredients, an extended period of heat, a specified waiting period, the prospects of something wonderful worth waiting for, and ...after the wait...something rich and light and lofty.

Mother nature baked up this frothy picture.  Spring has transformed the flat earth, dormant perennials, twiggery of deciduous shrubs, and bare vines into something yummy.

Among the ingredients is the dramatic airborne globe-shaped purple flower,  the ornamental onion Allium "Globemaster."
