Great photo, Sanbaz, so good of them to line up to have their picture taken. Are these in clay soil? I've never tried growing them as I thought they preferred very well drained soil.

Thanks sandra.. : O ))

I have these all around the garden I have been quite frustrated as they seem to have been at the same stage for ages, its nice to see yours as I now know IM IN FOR A TREAT EVENTUALLY LOL

Love these....really pretty..........

thanx Gee, was good off them wasnt it lol, no my raised border isnt clay, we filled it with good topsoil, but i do have some growing near my shed and thats clay mixed with composs ;o)
thanx carole, know what you mean these have been a one stage for ages to and just starting to open up nicely ;o))
thankyou janey ;o))

Mine not quite there yet.

do the flowers spike out at all carol or just stay tight like this with colour,

They stay like this,

Yes, they're great Sandra...You'll have lots more within a couple of years. Mine have made...I've got hundreds of them cropping up all over the rockery and borders!

Oh, and Gee, min e grow well in our heavy clay.
As Clarice says, Sandra.This is haow the flowers are fully open...Hence their common name..Drumstick Allium!

You made my day Sand.I enjoyed the laugh. Just wondered if Elsiemay said 'Abracadabra' as opposed to 'Hey Presto' haha :o)))
