I'm no expert George but I don't think it is, akaka should be reddish purple. I wonder if it might be Allium elbergense (https://nargs.org/photo/allium-elberzense  )

Having said that I'm usually wrong on these matters.

Thanks Dave. 

It looks like allium nerbezence.  This one has very exerted filaments.

No such species with name "nerbezence". Many misspellings here, "elbergense" correct spelling is Allium elburzense, but the plant grown as akaka is definitely not Allium elburzense.  Not sure what it is, but definitely not elburzense. I will look at it more closely to deliberate.

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) :

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/how-to-grow/10-best-top-performing-alliums-late-spring-colour/

I try to stick with old adage "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all", but can't help to comment on this, the writer's comment that Allium flavum is "bearing a striking resemblance to the Agapanthus" is hilarious and speaks volumes. We know better than this list, don't we?

Unknown allium found in woods in Greece on islands south of Athens. About 9” tall.
Any ideas?

These 3 bulbs were received as Allium shelkovnikovii. They are different. The last 2 pictures show them in close-up. Any ideas of what the paler one really is? I hope the brighter one IS Allium shelkovnikovii. Thank you.
The pictures were taken end of May
