I've not been able to frequent the forum much this year and for the first time for a couple of months had a look at this thread!! Some amazing pictures, thanks everyone for making my day!! A few pictures from my garden this year. First, first flowering of Allium brevistylum (from Wyoming via the Reykjavik Botanical Garden)  :)

I'm not sure about the Allium aciphyllum identification.  It's near impossible to find an accurately ID'd photo on the internet, I hope that the Chinese plant photo link I gave in the message above (from eflora.cn) shows what this species should look like.  The leaves are described a 1 mm wide, the leaves on your plant look wider than that. It's a very interesting bloom, but I'm wondering what it might actually be.

Mark, as I see the photo's and other information about allium aciphyllum, I am sure mine is not a. aciphyllum.
It looks a bit like allium cernuum.....

Allium atrosanguineum put on its best display yet this spring. It is a very early flowerer, end of April this year with the earth still frozen 5-10 cm down! However, all the flowers aborted again...

Allium stenodon flowered and set seed for the first time last year. This spring I noticed that it had spread laterally by 3-4cm or so. Investigating I found a long horizontal rhizome (see picture)!
Allium wallichii also spreads like this, up to half a metre in my garden! I have a reference to these rhizomes being dug and eaten in the Himalayas.
This feature is not mentioned for either of these species in Flora of China which I find strange...
Are there other Alliums that spread like this...

Sadly there is no seed as the flowers aborted for the second year running and it also doesn't multiply fast - I'll have to check if it's possible to divide tonight. But, it probably won't be more than one bulb....I'm sure you have something interesting in return :)
Will send you a PM later...

I have a question about Allium caeruleum:
I bought the cheap bulbs in a garden center in the last two seasons, but saw nothing than a few leaves - no flowers from 40 bulbs. As they were very cheap I thought, they are easy to grow - obviously not for me. Can anybody help with instructions?

Allium caeruleum is very easy . it can take quite wet ground, but also fine in fairly dry soil. sand or clay is not a problem.
flowering period in the Netherlands is now with me and they flower very nice this year.
No idea what could be wrong with you bulbs ?!
I will try to post a photo this weekend.

Hello,

Nice to hear! It starts flowering after almost all leaves are died.

Today I received one bulb of allium chrysantherum from a good friend ....
I'm already curious about next spring!
