thunderstorms, sunshine and vidalia onions
After the heart stopping thunderstorm we had last night, I tiptoed out to our small, sun drenched garden to capture the vidalia onions - vividly green and dripping with liquid sunshine. The top image is the actual bloom from said delicacy - who'd a thunk?
Have you ever tasted this southern onion? If so, the sweet blooms shouldn't come as much of a surprise. This is our favorite way to eat them - but only on special occasions.
Enjoy your weekend folks. Have something delicious. Stay cool and sunburn free.

ReplyDeleteHappy weekend Lori!
Beautiful shots of sunshine and wet wonder after the rain!
ReplyDeleteVidalia onions are my favorite. And I also like to cook up a batch of onion rings while they are in season. I did not realize teh bloom was so pretty. Love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, and that flower head is exquisite. I just opened 'this' and I'm in love - I want scruffy! All of them are gorgeous of course, but wow, Scruffy's eyes can melt a heart!
ReplyDeleteLove the sun coming through these!
ReplyDeleteUse vidalia onions all the time, and will think of those beautiful blooms from now on, when I do.
ReplyDeleteAs always Lori, your photos are truly stunning! Lovely shades of green! Have a great week!

Incredible shots, Lori! I love vidalias. They are so good carmalized and on a burger!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm off out again Into my garden now to photograph my spinach plants, you've inspired me thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat images Lori. I didn't know that the blooms were so beautiful. I can't imagine life with out onions. I put them with almost all the vegetables I eat.
ReplyDeleteStunning photography as usual. The water droplets are wonderful
ReplyDeleteVidalias are wonderfully sweet. I love that first shot
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are always a joy to look at. Such amazing detail. I don't know if you realized it but the second picture shows a bit of a web with water droplets on it. The lighting is perfect!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!! I love how the sun shined so bright after a rain. I have tasted these wonderful vidalia onions and they are THE BEST! Unfortunately we hardly get them here.
ReplyDeleteOh my from the thumbnail I was half expecting to hear of someone's wedding - thought this may be a bridal bouquet! Wow even more special, what stunning shots
ReplyDeleteI don't actually like onions... but I think that deer don't like them either so maybe I should grow them and the deer would leave my flowers alone? Lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteI found out recently that chive blossoms taste amazing. Wonder what the Vidalia blossoms are like? Love your pictures.
