Wim, what can you tell me about Allium 'Eos'?

Hi Mark,

I made a mistake with the name, it is not Allium Eos but Allium Camelion, I got this allium from Wayne Roderick years ago it is American native I think.
I give the name Camelion because it chance from collor white to pink,it is about25 - 30 cm high and it has hairy leaves.
I hope I have informed you enough.

Thanks Wim, but actually it raises more questions.  First, the spelling seems strange; probably should be "Chameleon" for the lizard that can change its skin color.  Second, I googled and googled, using their advanced search to exclude other plants named "Chameleon" such as Euphorbia, Houttuynia, Arum, and others, but can find no reference to a Allium 'Chameleon'... the only thing I can find is to use your spelling of "Camelion", but then the links are just to your records.  The fact the leaves are hairy is perplexing, if indeed the named plant is a cultivar of an American native.  What native species could it be that has hairy leaves?  Do you have any close-up photos?  Any photos of the hairy leaves?  Any photos of the bulbs?

Hi Mark,
Here two picture of the leave of Allium Cameleon,as you see it is hairy on the edge of the leave.
Here some more information of this allium,it was regetrated in 2008 for the Nomenclature and in 2009 it was regetrated at the Board for Plant varieties under the name Allium Cameleon.
Cameleon is written in France but means the same as Chameleon in Englisch.
This is all the information I have but I see now that I wrote Cameleon with a i but that is wrong sorry.

Thanks Wim, it still remains a puzzle.  I did find a link to a grower in the Netherlands that lists both Allium Cameleon and Allium Eros... both being trademark names versus regular cultivar names.  The fact the plant has hairy leaf margins adds to the mystery, as I do not know of any American native species that matches that characteristic.  There is some resemblance to Allium unifolium, although that species does not have hairy leaf margins.  My guess is, that Allium Cameleon® is not derived from an American native allium species.

Here are the links I found:

Allium Cameleon®
http://www.bulbs-bollen.nl/index.php?item=allium-cameleon_reg_--per-st__a-piece&action=article&group_id=9&aid=13&lang=EN
time of flowering: June-July
height: 25-30 cm

Allium Eros®
time of flowering: June-July
height: 30-35 cm

Question, when plants are registered for Trademark, doesn't the actual species need to be identified as part of the registration informatiion, so that if different color forms are selected and named there isn't confusion and chaos, but some semblance of taxonomic order and correctness?  Maybe I'm being naive.

Mark , www.bulbs-bollen.nl is our webshop so it not strang you saw it on that site and what about the origin, we can not ask Wayne anymore but it is almost for sure that they are American native.

The problem is, there are no American native species with hairy leaves that I am aware of, so the plant you show with hairy leaves has to be from elsewhere.  Possibly it was a plant grown by Wayne Roderick, as you say we can't ask him anymore, but surely he grew non-American-native plants too, and surely there are other ways to find out from the living what one is actually growing.  If you still believe it is an American species, please tell us which species.

It is my opinion, of which I'm 99% sure, that Allium Cameleon® is not an American native species.  The mystery remains as to what it really is.

[Lesley Cox]

The winner there Wim, MUST be Muscari massayanum.

[Wim de Goede]

The winner there Wim, MUST be Muscari massayanum.

Yes Lesley it is a wonderfull plant but not easy to grow, special it increase very slow but still we keep traying

[Wim de Goede]

I show you a better form of Ixia panaculata what we have named Ixia Eos and I show you Albuca minima I think the smalest Albuca

[Wim de Goede]

I will tray again with the Ixia
