cant identify a bulb?
I am relying on memory here and its gone at the best of times! I have a load of bulbs which I planted years ago and i cant even remember what colour they are. Pathetic I know but i think they are either blue or white! They are all green at the moment and have strap like leaves (like snowflaked which i thought they were) but there is a distinct smell of onion if i happen to tread on anything there. I may have to take a photo or wait until they appear as my memory is just so bad .If anyone has a suggestion as to what it may be I would be grateful but considering I cant remember the colour I am not hopeful!

writes Some sort of *Allium* perhaps? God, if they are get them out quick, I put some alliums in the front bed and they have gone berserk, all over the place and choking other bulbs, even the tiny little bulbils flower and grow. I keep digging them out as weedkiller didn't work and yet there are still more shoots coming up ............. and yes they do stink of onions. janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

The larger ones are fairly well behaved and spectacular in a sort of "in your face" manner. |

The message
from Janet Tweedy contains these words: In article , Rupert writes Sounds like you got one of the rampageous sorts--wild garlic perhaps. The larger ones are fairly well behaved and spectacular in a sort of "in your face" manner. No, not wild garlic, definitely alliums but not sure which ones ! -- Could also possibly be Ipheion which are allium related and have the characteristic smell. They have strappy leaves which tend to lie rather on the soil surface. Can spread a bit but on the other hand I'm having trouble getting them established at all. Janet G |
