Dear Luc S - you are showing real signs of an allium obsession- well done!

Dear Luc S - you are showing real signs of an allium obsession- well done!

As you can expect this is only a part of the collection.  Pitty nobody else has the same addiction.
And I have more addictions interests as you know.

[Maggi Young]

I hope all your botanical addictions flourish, dear Luc!  I love that there are so many of us with this "problem"!!

Hi Luc,
Your allium addiction has borne fruit - or at least flowers! Such wonders!
I'd love to indulge more in alliums but they are almost impossible to import into Australia as seed - I think it has to be fumigated or something equally destructive and expensive!
cheers

For me these rules are stupid for seeds.
Do customs open every letter ?

Do customs open every letter ?

From what I have seen on TV, all post goes through x-ray machines which show organic matter.

Can anyone identify this Allium please?
I bought the bulbs as A. caspium, which I now find it isn't.
It looks similar to that described as A. caspium yellow green (Rare Plants).
I suspect that this is another example of a misnomer being perpetuated.
I would like to rectify this with your help.
It stands about 45 cm tall, the umbel is about 15 cm dia. and the stem is round.
Any ideas??

looks like Allium schubertii but i'm not an expert of the genius.

Allium cyaneum has not long finished flowering here and followed more quickly than usual by Allium beesianum. I'm not generally a big fan of alliums but these two I like very much.

Allium beesianum images posted below. This is one of two groups in my garden of this species. The first was from a well-known Scottish nursery and it's not doing too well this year as it got crowded out by other plants. However, when obtained, this plant had many bulbils which I detached and potted up - these have now produced this vigorous group in the images below.
