Thanks for letting us know Wim, won't be long to wait

Yes, we can be patient!

Last Monday we were surprised by a nice entry of Allium.
Amongst them were some interesting new forms, where A. nevskianum was involved.

Allium cupuliferum cl.                   
Allium komarowii                       
Allium loratum

And a few other entries:                 
                 
Rhodohypoxis  group                             
Polygonatum Grace Barker
Hyacinthoides hispanica Meike 
   A nice pink form, not yet registered.

Allium loratum is a wonderful soft colour.

I could easily become besotted with Alliums, musy talk harshly with myself. Thanks for the pics Luit.

Just a few pictures this week.
Interesting was to see a cross of Allium tripedale (Nectaroscordum trip.) with Allium siculum ssp. bulgaricum (Nectaroscordum meliophyllum).
The new cross is in growth like A. tripedale, but it seems to propagate much better.

These plants were better known over the years als Nectaroscordum, but before that time they were known as Allium.
So know we have to call them Allium again.

I show pictures of the parents first :

Allium tripedale                           
Allium siculum ssp. bulgaricum cl.                   
                           
Allium siculum ssp. bulgaricum x tripedale     

[Lvandelft]

and we saw a small vase with some very nice colored and elegant flowers of a bulb, which was acquired and send as Hyacinthus tabrizianus.
After some studies in the Flora of Iran was found out that it probably is a Bellevalia.

Bellevalia tabriziana

Very beautiful Luit.

 Just a few... but what pictures! Super, Luit. The Allium close-ups are so pretty  and the Bellevalia is utterly charming.

Many thanks once again Luit.

[Brian Ellis]

I can see the Allium siculum ssp. bulgaricum x tripedale   becoming very popular Luit, and what a pretty Bellevalia that is.  Thanks for showing us.

[Ragged Robin]

Bellevalia tabriziana

Luit, what a gorgeous photo you took of these lovely flowers in a vase.

[Lvandelft]

Yes, the Bellevalia was really a pleasure for the eyes, despite being so small
