Some alliums still brighten autumn days
3. An erreneous bulb received as Allium subhirsutum. Any ID ideas?

Oleg,

Looks to me like A. tardans.

A bit late for the party too...  Fred, stunning photo of this little jewel.

Oleg, the photos from your garden still show some lovely plants in flower - it must have been wonderful to come home from holiday to such a welcome  :)
I still looks quite warm - how long does your autumn weather last?
We seem to benefit from global warming. For the last 5 years there have been no frosts in September. October is usually an autumn month but cold. Usual time for snow is the beginning of November.
Thanks for the ID, Oron. I can't find a picture of A.tardans anywhere in the net
in Moscow

Oleg

There is a photo of A. tardans [darker form] which I have posted earlier this year [January].
I don't know how to upload it on this thread, maybe Maggi can help us.
Any way if you write Allium tardans at the search box above you'll be able to see it.

Adding to this group of autumnal flowering Alliums, here is A. autumnale flowering today, it is endemic to Cyprus.
Not a top model but still intresting.

Oron,

because of this not top model species, I like this genus. All the others can grow the drumball-species, but the little "jewels" make the genus so interesting.
Thanks for this posting.

Nice to see a real Alium thunbergii - have tried from seed from various sources but so far I've been unlucky and it's always been an early flowering impostor. If anyone has seed/bulbs of the real thing I'd be very grateful!

Ashley: I see you are growing it in a pot - does this mean it's not hardy with you?
