Picture graduation time and a house of boys. No fancy table decorations. Just the cake and then a quick run out to the herb garden to pick a bouquet of flowering chives. Beautiful purple blossoms on green stems.
When chives set to flower, their scent goes away. I have had many ask where we got the unusual flowers from. And cheapo me said, "My herb garden." And they hold structure at least a week. You have to let your first herb chives go to seed (flower) before you start to use an established chive garden.
The timing will change from area to area of the country, and so this is Minnesota, most often after a long cold snowy winter.
