Was going through some photos from a couple years ago, and ran across this one. Does anyone recognize this Allium?

That looks more like Cleome: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/6/

edited to say: There are 23 listed in Plant Files: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/b/Capparaceae/Cleome/none/c... I'm not sure which one yours is.

Ya know. I think you may be right. It's been so long that I couldn't remember if it was a single spike or not, and it's the only image I have of it. It was taken at a nursery about 100 miles from me, so it's not easy access. Thanks. I'll check through the Cleome images.

It's Cleome for sure.
I hit the jackpot and found 18 plants the other day (I could have gotten hundreds...)
I used to grow it in Winnipeg, it got to 5' tall, and with multiple fronds from each mother plant.
I hope it grows just as dramatically in Calgary, as it did there.
Lovely scent...
