Allium 2009

[Armin]

Luit,
excellent investigated as usual. Interesting to see the (marginal) differences.
Any significant differences i.e. in leaves among the 4?

Have you heart about the name changes, can you confirm it?

As promised here a picture of Allium Purple Sensation.
This one was bought in England 2003. Then the one, which is in trade as Allium hollandicum [aflatunense],
with a paler color.
A picture of Allium aflatunense from Ruksans (1999)
And finally a cross of Allium Purple Sensation with Allium macleanii

Luit,

with your pictures it is now clear for me. I have A. hollandicum Purple Sensation in the garden.
Thank's for the pictures.

Just a picture of my Allium stipineva (i.e. Allium stipitatum x nevskianum) growing in open ground and being an integrated part of my border.

This one came into flower the last few days for the first time. I received it as Allium hirtifolium album which it obviously isn't, at least the album bit. The leaves are hairy (= hirtifiolium). I read in Nomenclator Alliorum that Allium stipitatum is maybe synonymous. Any comments?

The allium season is in full swing: Allium atropurpureum

I got this allium as A. olympicum last year but it looks a lot like A. sibthorpianum.... Can anyone confirm if this is olympicum or sibthorpianum?

[Lesley Cox]

I don't think it is olympicum but I couldn't go further than that.

Hello Wim,

sorry I can't help you. The only information I can give you is that in "Nomenclator Alliorum Allium names and synonyms- a world guide" both names comes from the Flora of Turkey Vol. 8 1984 Edinburgh Univ. Press. Perhaps someone has this literature and can send you a copy.

Sorry for off topic
Stephen,
Can you please send me a mail directly. i.e. no through the forum.
I am presently unable to send to you via the forum and have not the time to fix that.

Thanks Lesley and Ulli,

I'll see if I can find some more information.

Some more alliums for today
1.Allium validum
2.Allium ramosum
3.Allium atroviolaceum
4.Allium dichlamydeum?

[Onion]

Oleg,

when I look the first time on your Allium dichlamydeum? I think it is a wrong name for this species. But two years ago I have a comparable plant with this pale colour. So in my opinion it is possible that your species is Allium dichlamydeum.

[olegKon]

Thank you,Uli for comments. Hope it is the species.
