First one to flower here this year (as it is every year), allium paradoxum var normale
seed from nectaroscordum tripedale, last year no germination, this year 100% ?
and seed from Allium Silver Spring, last year al frozen, this year, with al lot of straw, only a little damage.

Janis i think it might be Allium semenowii

Thank you, Oron. You are right. Here three pictures of A. semenovii in wild.

At present I have it. I collected it last May at blooming time - some 3-4 bulbs. One sent to Gatersleben Institute. Others alived this winter and as you can see from first entry one even bloomed with me regardless of collecting during flowering time. Will see in future - how it will grow, will it set seeds etc. It is really very pretty.
