Chives, Allium Schoenoprasum

We have been growing chives in the window, and today, they brought a touch of spring to the house.









Chives are well known for escaping cultivation, because they readily reseed themselves. Where I grew up in Virginia, the lawns were full of chives. This photo was taken in Virginia, along a path in a wooded area near my parents' home.



I had thought that chives weren't native, but according to the USDA database, there is a native variety.
