Some nice butterfly's Alliums from today....

allium senecsens
allium ametystinum

Agreed, some very nice alliums butterflies!  It's one of the best features of summer blooming allium, their irresistible attractive to pollinators! Both the A. senescens forms and A. amethystinum are a lovely sight.

Is it usual for Allium senescens var montanum to flower later than A.senescens?
I was surprised to see them flowering now in the Netherlands when mine are still in buds en I live 1000km more South where the climate is warmer.

Arisaema, a VERY interesting allium!  [...] But looking briefly at the key, I don't see other likely options.  How tall are the flowering stems?

By the way, what's the blue-flowered plant next to it?  Looks like an enticing member of the Gentianaceae.

Interesting is probably the best way to describe it, can't say I'm a huge fan... (It's tasty, at least ;D ) The tallest scape is 55 cm, probably due to it being well-fed. Not sure what species the Gentiana is, looks close to G. atuntsiensis, but with 315 species to choose from I haven't bothered trying to key it.

My allium senescens is the first to flower, but almost the same time, maby a week later, senescens montanum is flowering followed by senescens Glaucum. In the photo posted below you can see senescens Glaucum, senescens montanum and senescens from left to right.
(they are a little mixed up with seedling allium and a. tuberosum)

My Allium senescens montanum is still not quite in flower, but the various asiatic A. senescens I have have been in flower for perhaps 3 weeks. I understand that they are no longer recognised as the same species.

Caught my Allium wallichii flowers emerging during a warm day here yesterday. The first two were taken in the morning, the others in the evening...

I haven't seen this one posted here before, if indeed it is Allium galanthum (NARGS seed from 2007). The flowers are just appearing now. The leaves are fistulose.

I presume this is Allium carinatum pulchellum - it looks much more robust than the mother plant which died last winter, probably as it's growing on its own with plenty of space...

I'll second that motion, Stephen really terrific photos on your A. wallichii opening up... with enough moisture this summer, the seedlings from your seed are growing well.  Nice pulchellum form too.  That does look like A. galanthum, not the most earth-shaking allium species, but useful for such late flowering and at close-hand, the flowers are modestly pretty :D

Now I'm late for work :P

If it's tasty and you get fed up with it, I'll look after it for you  ;)

I have one bud on Allium wallichii.  Yesterday (or maybe the day before) the spathe was green and I thought it would be a while before it opened.  After seeing Stephen's photos today I had a look and the spathe is open and yellowing and the purple flower buds showing.  It should be fully out tomorrow.
