Bed of Alliums, yes, at Bot Garden

looking forward to the flowersGT

Strangely, Sandra, I remember them getting little tufts of white just above the greens. More a structural plant. But they are so wonderful in a big bunch like this. I think my sister Greensis has a patch like this, with more blooming varieties from more temperate clime. I'll have to try and get her to post some of them too. :-)

i dont know much about aliums but someone bought me christophii for christmas and i love it. its very showy but i am now reserching more alliums.

They really are nice. This one is not generally collected. Just used here to test this russian varieties hardiness.

I'm trying alliums for the first time this year and so far they are doing well. These certainly are flourishing.

i've only just discovered them too Gardengnome. i just love them. i have christophii. what ones do you have?

Hello Sandra, I have blue drumstick. I don't know how they come up with these names, lol.

there are so many different varieties...

All of them beautiful in their own way. I thought I might try one of the giants next year. Have you seen any on this site? I haven't really looked for them what with so much to see; I don't think I'll ever see it all. lol.

there only so much time to look isent there GG. my hubby julian has giant garlic which has great flowers its about three feet high.

Are those another of those wonderful things I've missed on your site Sandra?

there are soo many great photos on here its impossible to keep up....

Even as we're commenting, others are joining and adding their treasures to the mixture; and those who are already members are adding more pictures, blogs, plants, comments.....one could get to the screaming stage really fast!lol

It is overwhelming. I've focused on growing my garden, and fitting in whatever else I can. I'll add this to my garden so the allium link on the right of the picture takes us to the GOY Alliums posted and in gardens. I love that link.

These have bloomed, I'll put on a pic very soon. Just white brushes on the tops. :-)

Even added more allium pictures on this page now. :-)

i havent figured out that link u r on about...i will look now,

Oh, under what else here in the right column at the top. I love it once I found it. :-) I just looked 14 pages of folks allium pics. !!!
