Flowering Herbs

Most of us never get to see this pretty little flower unless we grow our own herbs in our garden or in a flowerpot. This is the flower of a herb called Chives which I grow and they regularly surprise us with these beautiful little pink flowers.

Chives is one of my favorite herbs. I like using it sun dried or fresh in my sauces even with eggs. I never knew it had such a beautiful flower! Thanks for sharing @claudiaz

I have never seen a chives plant. There are however one of my best and favourite go to herbs in the kitchen. They have very beautiful flowers. Question I am creating a small herbs garden, what do you plant for chives, seeds or part of the plant?

@mutitum, You can plant seeds, but I usually just buy a very small plant at the shop and then later you can split them and make more! very easy to grow.

We have chives in our herb garden, they are really pretty in flower. Thanks for posting.

you are welcome and thank you!

Hope you win the contest @claudiaz . Beautiful picture!
