Allium Universe
Similar to Allium cristophii with its airy blooms, this appealingly shorter variety sends up large, 6–8″ metallic purple spheres on sturdy stems.
The genus Allium (the Latin means “garlic”) offers colorful, distinctive, and long-lasting forms that are standouts in the early summer garden. Alliums are sun-lovers and prefer well-drained, even sandy, soil. Deer, mice, chipmunks, and related predators generally avoid this group, so you can plant with impunity. Tuck them among clumps of summer-flowering perennials where the Alliums’ withering foliage will be hidden by the expanding perennials.

A wasp-mimicking beetle. At over an inch long, this striking creature is the Locust Borer, Megacyllene robiniae. It’s one of the longhorn beetles; its larva bores into black locusts, while adults like this one eat goldenrod pollen.
The conspicuous, brightly colored adults appear when goldenrod is in bloom. Adults are most abundant during September, when they are commonly found feeding on pollen of goldenrod blossoms.

Newly emerged from metamorphosis, this beauty dries it wings in the faint sunlight. Nature preserve, May, 2015
Throughout its range, from sea level to moderate elevations, the Eastern Comma (Polygonia comma) is associated with rich deciduous woodlands. It occupies forest clearings, sunny spots along woodland roads, and open areas in the vicinity of its food plants, not uncommonly in close proximity to buildings. This butterfly seldom visits flowers, but rather feeds on sap, rotting fruit, salts and minerals from puddling, and dung.
