Very Pretty, Carol, I love the alliums, I had the really big one just one year. It didn't return, I wonder if they like lighter soil than I have.

Thanks Joann,
They do put on a good show. These are forming their buds now for this year.
Cheers,
Carol

Hi Starzz, that's a great allium pic. Great colour. I love allium. Right now I only have the sphaerocephalon & the azureum. This fall I hope to add 'Mount Everest' & possibly 'Purple Sensation'. They just seem to go on for the longest time, don't they?...Linda

Hi Linda..
Yes they do seem to last..
I love purple blooms of any kind.
I have some small allium Moly that is a pretty yellow.
