Drummond Wild Onion
(Alium drummondii)
 
 
 

Drummond Wild Onion has a beautful blossum that starts out as a very dark rosy-pink and lightens over time. The blossums form a cluster at the top of a spindly stem with 10 to 15 flowers in the cluster. I have usually seen them in groups, often on the edge of an open field and a wooded area. This one was taken on the edge of a cedar break just northwest of Austin in April 2001.

Photo Details: Nikon N90s, Nikon 85 2.8 Tilt Shift, Fuji Velvia, 125@f11, Manfrotto CF4221 with Kirk BH-1 and Adorama focusing rail.
