Allium

The world of Allium — encompassing onions, garlic, leeks, and many ornamental
species — reveals an extraordinary richness that extends far beyond everyday use.
From familiar crops to striking ornamental forms, the diversity of this genus is both surprising and refined. In this photographic study, Bart van den Berg pays tribute to this remarkable plant group. The result is a collection of images in which geometry, rhythm, and delicacy come to life — from the first emerging bud to the refined architecture of the seed. More than a photographic study, this book offers a journey through history, symbolism, nomenclature, and botanical wonder.

An invitation to look more closely — and to discover the extraordinary in the familiar.
