We are already working on selecting ampeloprasum types approximately 15 years.
the beginning came from seed that we had collected then in Greece.
This year we had a completely white and some very pretty pink types between seedlings.
I post a picture of our field ampeloprasum we now cut for auction. Allium Purple Mystery is right and in the middle Hairy Friend.
The other picture is the now flowering allium texanum

A couple of pictures showing various Allium ampeloprasum cultivars including Pearl Onions when I had success a few years ago
1) Elephant Garlic, Pearl Onions and Belgian Oerprei
2) Sand Leek, Babington's Leek and Oerprei
3) Pearl Onions

Sand Leek makes very nice bulbs as I see in your photo,
do you have a photo of it in flower?

Wietse: No, as I remember Sand Leek survived one winter didn't flower and died the next. I can make inquiries if you are interested in a sample?

I got this one as Allium cernuum (from Oregon). Am I right that it is rather A. stellatum or a hybrid?

I think I posted this one last year and Mark suggested it was a stellatum-cernuum hybrid?
