It has a funny-sounding name and looks a little weird, but it's delicious!!<br /><br />Gail--It was great to meet you too!

It seemed to me that Chicago put on it's best face, the weather was perfect, the gardens beautiful and Andies restaurant was delicious! Btw, I have more allium shots then I imagined I did! gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641149820652708910.post-571912939411918842009-06-02T08:21:17.202-07:002009-06-02T08:21:17.202-07:00Good tip about hiding the scraggly allium foliage....Good tip about hiding the scraggly allium foliage. I have lots of daylilies, so now I know where to plant the alliums. It was fun to read a little of what was on the menu as Andie's. I don't know spanakopita, but I bet it's something sweet.donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641149820652708910.post-65743759784387380032009-06-02T07:39:02.279-07:002009-06-02T07:39:02.279-07:00MMG-I think alliums might win for "plant of the we...MMG-I think alliums might win for "plant of the weekend." They were indeed everywhere!<br /><br />Rose-It was great to meet you too! And I heartily agree that CBG cannot be done in a day and we always have things to talk about.

Lisa and Beckie began referring to you as "young Rose" and me as...well, they never had the nerve to give me an adjective:)<br /><br />Spring Fling was an unforgettable weekend! Your wrap-up was excellent; I'm still going through photos and coming down from a sensory overload. One more thing I'd add to your musings is that I learned that you can't see all of the Chicago Botanic Garden in one day. And another is that garden bloggers never have to worry about running out of things to talk about:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641149820652708910.post-69760138350247772692009-06-01T11:22:41.684-07:002009-06-01T11:22:41.684-07:00I don't think I've ever seen as many Alliums in my...I don't think I've ever seen as many Alliums in my life as this weekend. They seemed to be everywhere. Not that that's a bad thing...Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.com
