Hi everyone,
just wanted to re-ignite the Allium thread!
Here's a tiny allium which I've flowered for the first time from AGS Seed in 2005.
(I've also posted it to the Southern Hemisphere Thread) It's called Allium chamaemoly and flowers at ground level. Dilys Davies in her book on the genus says it is difficult from seed but this one appears to be correct form her description and only took 2 years to bloom - though only one of the seedlings is flowering size so far.
I must change the gravel mulch to something darker to contrast with the flowers next year!
cheers

The Babelfish translation of Rafa's message was 'Hello handsome, I am glad of volverte to see by cyberespacio. What so goes your house?' Helpful.  ???

Babelfish translation SP o EN:

I agree with you Annwe, this is an unuseful program I think  ::) Chöle, as you are a proffesional translator what do you think about this "fantastic" program?

All the best,

Rafa
