I managed to kill a neighbor's goldfish after she had had it for years and years .. I felt terrible .. I think it was the issue of too much food ? jeez .. he was a beauty too.<BR/>I have watched sunflowers track the sun .. but not alliums .. so far mine just throw out skinny leaves and no little flower<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>VP .. I'm sure I just wrote a comment here and it disappeared .. my head is done in .. too many intense garden days ..<BR/>looking after some one's plants is a very daunting task .. I managed to kill some one's long time beautiful gold fish once .. over feeding .. who would have thought ? jeez !<BR/>Alliums .. they are really amazing plants .. my skinny guys haven't formed a little flower head yet in years .. too much feeding again ??
