Allium acutiflorum? I was given this curious Allium by someone in Northern Norway in the summer. Haven't seen an Allium that branches like this before. Any comments?

The last autumnal Allium is in flower,
A. callimischon ssp. callimischon, from the Peloponnese, curiously it has its new leaves by now but the flowers born on last season's stalks which until 2 weeks ago seemed to be completely dry.

It differs from ssp. haemostictum from Crete by being a  more robust plant and somewhat less striking flowers.

Nice looking Allium, Michael. Do you know where it comes from and how hardy it is? I've had seed of this, but I don't seem to have any record of what went wrong...(most probably not hardy here...)

By the way, has anyone visited the National Allium collection in Reading? Worth a visit?

Stephen,I think it comes from Japan. I don't know how hardy it is as I have no space in the garden to plant it out.

Can anyone verify if this is Allium acutifoliumsorry, it was actually labelled A.acutiflorum? I grew it from seed from the AGS Seedex 2005
178402-0178404-1
The foliage is somewhat leek-like!
178406-2

This is the usually contorted A. obtusum  I mean obliquum! just shaking off its sleeping-cap
178408-3178410-4178412-5

cheers
fermi
