garden Heady florals in Boston's Public Garden mirror the budding jewelry trends of the season. styling by amanda weiner text by jessica laniewski photography by brian klutch flowers courtesy of winston flowers ORNAMENTAL ONION ALLIUM GIGANTEUM T 92 bostoncommon-magazine.com hree separate groups collaborate to bring us the flowers in the Public Garden's 58 beds and along its perimeter: the Boston Parks & Recreation department, the Friends of the Public Garden, and the Rose Brigade. We took our inspiration from their work. One of the showier flowers planted by the Parks department in the beds lining the walkway to the pond's romantic bridge is allium, an ornamental onion that blossoms in late June and thrives longer than tulips. Its later flower helps extend the bloom time of the bulb plantings, and its bauble of purple and stick-straight height—often rising to four feet—adds much-photographed drama. from top: Frog ring with croco-pattern diamonds and emeralds, Hellmuth ($12,193).
