I would say Allium subhirsutum, A. neapolitanum has a triangular stem.

Hi Oron

I think that you are right
Forgot that Allium subhirsutum also grows in Corsica
Thanks for solving

A couple of mine in flower first Allium akaka from Turkey then a species I collected some years ago flowering for the first time.

I read the response from Mark on the NARGS forum, and I must say that now allium orientale and colchicifolium in my collection also flourish, recognizing from a picture is quite difficult.
I don't do research on the Internet regarding the possible allium species, but look only in my own collection, and since there are a lot of Alliums that are similar to each other, I'm probably wrong about most species recognition.
Anyway, I do my best!

Hello Weitse,  I've been quietly admiring your fantastic alliums on SRGCs, been wanting to comment, but find that with work I don't have time to participate both on NARGS and SRGC.  As it is now, I'm traveling for my job, I'm in Las Angeles, California for the week of intense certification training, and I'll have very little time and internet access during the week.

But wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your photos; the images of forms of Allium woronowii show it to be a spectacular onion. And its good to see such rarities as ellisii, minutiflorum, and colchicifolium, all very nice and in such healthy full flower.

On my ID for the Allium Tony Willis cross-posted to both SRGC and NARGS, I used the Tubives (online Flora of Turkey) web resource to narrow down what species of allium actually occur in a specific province, quite a excellent resource for ID'ing Turkish flora.  Based on those results, I think Tony's plant is A. orientale.

Allium chloranthum as offered by PC
his description says blooms in  late summer but this is blooming now several weeks before Allium flavum has even set flower buds.

can anyone confirm the id?

[Rimmer de Vries]

A weedy blue allium grown from NARGS seed. grows 20-30 inches tall and has lots of bulb offsets, a good doer in my raised beds and in the hot sunny garden. 

does any one know its identity?

Thanks

Here are a couple of links to pix in the Forum, Rimmer, which may be of interest :

Alessandro - what is the source on your A. chloranthum?  It is a stronger green-yellow color than mine... mine is also with a greenish or chartreuse tinge, but not as dark green as yours.
