I must apologize as I am, a stickler for correct botanical names . makes life so much easier , but if there is a common name that I have heard it will be added as well.

It looks like an allium...

The Allium genus belong to the onion family which is the largest familyof plants,
maybe there is a connection there somewhere.

Do you grow any orchids Pitta? they're a huge family too.

I live in Cyprus and would guess that this would grow here as our climate is similar but possibly drierr.
Re the proper name, if translated from Greek it is not very nice!

I'm glad that at least some of you plants have common names.
