Allium rotundum jajlae  (aka A. scorodoprasum jajlae) grown from NARGS seed (ex Ruksans)
12" tall, well behaved, good form,  this is on of my favorite little purple drumsticks

It takes some time, but it will flower very beautiful as you can see in the foto.
I think it's a real beauty!
your allium chloranthum is true, it is (as it does normal) flowering much earlier then allium flavum.
Your blue allium could be some allium caesium form, or allium caeruleum

I am happy to see your A. scabriscapum out in the field.  The descriptions say it is stoleniferous and difficult - need very dry summer. 

Since your photo is from 2012 what is your experience with it over the previous summer and wet winter?

 Now I hope to relocate it to the garden when dormant and hope this action does not disturbed its increase.

Thanks for posting your pictures and confirmation on the other alliums.

Rimmer, your allium looks like A. splendens.  At first I thought hymenorrhizum, but that's typically a larger (taller) plant and flowers later.

I'm envious seeing Allium scabriscapum being grown successfully, had seedlings a couple times but have not yet succeeded growing them for long.

Can't agree more Arnold  :)

Is there a trick for growing them
I tried it a few times but without success  >:(
It seems they need cold to germinate
seeds are now three years not germinated even with added snow
still no success :(

A few species and hybrids from here, all flowering very well now, much later than usual due to the very cold and wet spring :

My allium scabriscapum I left in the ground all year round, and it has green leaves at this moment but is not flowering yet.
As soon as it is, I will post a photo!

Pontus,

Is the colour of your barsczewskyi aman kutan real as red as the photo is showing?, it is a very beautiful colour!

I think your allium woronowii is allium decipiens ssp quercetorum
