Waiting for the big reveal

These are so tiny approx 3/4 inch (just under 2cm) from tip to base.
Known as Drumsticks

I love these Alliums.

[Kartia]

I love these too. This shot reminds me of unwrapping a chuppa chup lollipop!

[Casablanca]

That is just perfect with the repetition in the background and the headscarf around the buds waiting to pop

FAV Fabulously simple Composition and I love the detail! Will you paint them after they dry out like my daughter-in-law did? Exclamation point

[Peter Dulis]

lovely

[Bill]

Nicely taken.

[Jacqueline]

Gorgeous dof, I particularly like the way it gets out of its protective layer.

[Susan Wakely]

@phil_sandford they are so much smaller than I was expecting.

[Susan Wakely]

@kartia they could be described as lollipops rather than drumsticks.

[Susan Wakely]

@casablanca haha it does look like a headscarf.

[Susan Wakely]

@sangwann @foxes37 @ankers70 @marlboromaam @amyk @pamalama @bill_gk @pdulis thank you for you comments.

[Susan Wakely]

@onewing it really is anticipation waiting to see what colour it is going to be.

[Susan Wakely]

@ludwigsdiana thank you. I will share when it is fully opened.

[Susan Wakely]

@grammyn thank you so much. They are so tiny I won’t need much paint.

[Susan Wakely]

@jacqbb thank you. It’s teasing me by doing it slowly.

It always amazes me that all that flower is packed so neatly into the bud. Ain't nature clever!
