Is it possible to save an (almost) unopened allium elegans bud which got slug eaten?
Sadly it got chopped off from its flowerstem only 2cm's or less from the top...the flowerbuds where just starting to emerge and it would have flowered in about 10 days I think....
as always, all more common alliums round the elagans pot where untoutched, confirming that slugs and pests always destroy the most expensive and rare bulbs!
I have improvised a small construction by placing the bud in wet paper cloth in a small eg cup...(see attatched images..)
what can i do now to maximise chances of seeing at least 1 flower open from the umbel? or is there no hope?
