Allium 2012

[wmel]

Here are two alliums photographed this morning in the south of the Golan Heights [Syrian teritory]
A dark form of Allium schubertii and an  newly described species belonging to the A. nigrum group, soon it  is going to have its own name.

it looks like allium "Silver Spring" as we grow it here in holland. SilverSping came from Israel where it is used as cutflower they told us.....
Is it the normal time now for these alliums to flower??

[Oron Peri]

Apparently it is the same one.
Yes, this species is in flower in April, consider that temperatures are 20-27c at the moment.

Some photo's from today. Last year it was very warm in april, but this year it's only about 10-13 oC last week, so the alliums are growing slow.
Every day we see more damage from the cold winter we had.

To many this may be just a food plant but I appreciate Allium schoenoprasum bloom every year. I my hometown we had zillions growing along the river bank - unfortunately I don't make it to see them this year

A nice clump of Allium schoenoprasum from my garden... which I don't harvest but enjoy it for its flower.
