It can happen for  little  or  no reason, Oleg, no worries!

I find any photo by an iphone gets rotated on this forum. The iPhone snap needs to be modified in some way to post here. I typically crop or straighten than post.

Is A.tuberosum mainly used for ornamental purposes? Have you ever tried it?
They are sold at a supermarket for about 1 EUR.

Allium tuberosum is  used  a  lot  for  culinary  purposes, but  the  good  thing is  that  it  is  also ornamental!

I have never seen them sold to eat in Minnesota, but I regularly use them.

Hi Ashley, this looks similar to a species I grew from 2008 NARGS seed, came as Allium sp. Turkey (I believe it was from Erzerum province), which took 7 years to flower, I keyed it to Allium lycaonicum.  However there is a 2013 technical publication that describes two new species from Erzurum that look similar, Allium serpentinicum and A. kandemirii. You can see this paper at this link:

Thanks for your opinion Mark. 
Yes I considered A. lycaonicum too but was not certain.  However next year I'll check my plants against this paper.

Hello,Maggi and Rick R.
Thank you for the information. It's interesting for me. This is the pictures of Allium chinense which is known as vegetables in Japan. Both they are grown for eating purpose.

Allium saxatile - from a bunch of seedlings weeded out of the Rock Garden at Kaydale Lodge (with Lesley's permission!) on our last visit a few years ago,
