We've just been out to lunch with friends and atour of their beautiful
garden. They have lots of theese Allium about the place and it's a new
one to me, so just in case some urglers don't know it, I thought I'd
pass it on. It's flowering now and looks lovely and airy, swaying gently
in a breeze. Its other great bonus - to me - is that it seeds itself
around quite happily.




I tried to grow it once, but failed miserably, yet I succeed with
Alliums Christophii and 'Purple Sensation'. I've had a lovely show this
year. Clearly, I'll have to try A. sphaerocephalon again. Thanks for
the tip.
