Garlic Vines

My garlic vine is flowering for a second time since i planted it a year ago. It flowers 3 months ago but i only realise it when it was already wilted. It is a gift from my friend whom gave me 2 cutting.  I love seeing it progress from flower bud to its full bloom.
Today my curiosity gets the better of me; i smell the flower. Surprisingly it is sweet smelling with occasional garlic accent. Hmm, interesting!




This is the most attractive stage ; purple tipped bud

a day later: petals partially unfolded






in full bloom
