Allium 2018
« on: January 02, 2018, 03:02:08 PM »
A selection of Allium flavum tauricum colour forms.
These were from NARGS Seedex - originally from Mark McDonough but donated by someone else.
They are now seeding into other pots!

LOL, so many ways to communicate, everything is so interconnected these days.  :D
Twenty four years hence, the idea of daily and weekly newspapers seem quaint.

In Australia daily newspapers are still rolling along quaintly but are headed for a cliff sometime ::)
Here are the typical Allium carinatum (pulchellum?)

Another memory from Sukey McDonough ....

"Another pleasant little trip down memory lane...2007 article in Horticulture Magazine that featured Mark and his Alliums. Photographer Michael Carroll took some really lovely photos. It was so hot on the days he was shooting, lugging all that equipment around, scrunching over flowers, very patiently trying to get everything just so. We were quite impressed. "

Between 2013 and 2016, the RHS trialed more than 100 allium varieties at RHS Wisley. See their pick of the 10 best top-performing alliums for late spring colour that have won an Award of Garden Merit (AGM) :

I raised this allium from seed (AGS) as Allium  akaka.  Is this really allium akaka? I am not sure.
