Allium triquetrum
I don't know how many remember my trying to find out what this plant was
when I took pictures of it in January http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...nflowers02.jpg Well it was still in flower last week when it was mown off by some zealous council worker cutting the grass despite it being up against the wall. I will have to watch to see when it comes into flower this winter. David @ a sunny part of Swansea Bay |

"Go out and mow" doesn't have to be taken as "destroy things in flower", surely?! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

Terrible stuff; absolute menace. My mother's garden is infested with it; I shall spray as much of it as I can with glyphosate in a week or two when it's stopped flowering. I agree, it's a pest. Pretty when in flower but a menace when it spreads. I also managed to bring it from my mother's garden with a white bluebell, and now it is multiplying. Want any? Pam in Bristol |
