Allium christophii

I've got these flowered well last year but i have not seen any buds yet!

I love these Alliums , planted some - but some squirrels loved the bulbs even more

Oh no! I certainly didn't know that squirrels like them! Badgers don't - they tried a few A. 'Purple Sensation' and spat them out. :-/

Lemondog - I had two pots with three in each - all of them flowered last year, only four this time. :-((

all mine are up and in bud with an extra one too :o))))

:-))))

Now where are mine they flowered beautifully last year.......

I hope you find them!

DD Maybe you've got squirrels too hope not, you've probably just mislayed them !!!

Maybe they're behind something else???

Found one today.......it was hiding!!

LOL....

Was it behind the sofa - that's usually where I find missing things ;-)

Barbara - I remember you saying last year that yours had not come up very tall and you asked me if mine had come up much. And I remember saying that mine were quite short too. Well, this year they have in fact come up a bit taller - about 1ft or so - and do look sort of better proportioned. So, have yours come up any taller this year? All mine have come back BTW - with 2 extra buds on one of them!! Mine are in the ground.

Yes, Sarah, they are taller - about 18" in fact!!! No extra buds, though. I could plant them in the ground in the autumn, I think, as they're sunk in in pots still. I might add a few more, too, as two have failed.

Strange that...maybe they are happier once established.

They're not really, though, not in pots!
