Occasional polemics and pictures.
Absolutely no idea what it is, as usual, but I thought it was pretty.
Is it of appropriate size and leafage to be red clover?
Alas, no.The flower ball was maybe 50mm across, and on a tubular stalk maybe 50cm high. It was in a bunch of field grass at the zoo, so there's not much telling just where it might have propagated from.
some sort of onion family. With a blossom that large, probably a cultivar. Have you seen chives bloom? Something like that, but bigger. -betonica
