Description
The botanical term "scape" generally refers to a long internode forming the basal part or the whole of a peduncle. Typically it takes the form of a long, leafless flowering stem rising directly from a bulb, rhizome, or similar subterranean or underwater structure.
The scapes of garlic are used as a vegetable.

So, I guess the botanical term "Scapes In The Chives" would translate as Chivescape in photography speak. Actually, some may call it micro landscape. Nice composition!

Thank you Les for your generous comment. It certainly felt micro landscape when I was sitting on the ground. One's own backyard can provide some amazing material to capture. However, the rest of the scapes are going into my pasta dish!!
