I photographed this quirky plant on 15.05.08.

Hello Jeanny,
a very good close-up of a leek (Allium). These buds are still very young, making a definitive identification difficult. I would (without guarantee) guess garlic, Allium sativum.
Best regards, Karl

Hello Karl,
nice that there is someone again at landschaftsfotos.eu who knows (almost) everything.
Thank you.
Jeanny

Hello Jeanny,
you’re making me quite embarrassed.
I know terribly little and constantly have to look things up in books. Let’s just agree that the books know (almost) everything and I am merely a user of this book knowledge.
Otherwise, the comment would really be a bit embarrassing for me.
Still, thank you for the well-intentioned praise.

Best regards, Karl

Good morning Karl,
don't be so modest. I did write "almost" everything.
No one knows everything, but it is important to know where to find it, for example in books. Most people don't even make the effort.
Best regards
Jeanny
