Related to the Lily Family

A few facts about this herb (a must in our herb planter) ...
 
 
 
It's ...
  • related to the Lily family
  • high in vitamin C, potassium and folic acid
  • known to promote good digestion, ease stomach upset
  • and supposedly prevents bad breath 
We love them on our baked potatoes in the summer, clearly not the flowers but the stalks ... CHIVES! The flowers, however,  sure have a pretty purple bloom ... don't you think?

Hope you had a lovely valentine's day! To Everyone who lives in Ontario, have a wonderful Family Day!
