I got this at the bulb sale - an autumn flowering Allium. I'll get a better photo this weekend

The label reads Allium sp ex Turkey coll. MacW

It's beautiful...

It is. The flowers seem to emerge from the spathe in sucession. Some are setting seeds while other are in bud

This is Allium cupanii ssp. hirtovaginatum. I grew it from my share of the Mac&W expedition to Turkey.
