Allium karataviense henrikii looks a bit menacing for it's neighbours even before it is open...  ;D

two different colour forms of

Allium akaka

this presents a problem for me in cultivation in that the leaves and flowers are on a stem and in the wild it is completely stemless and sits on the ground

Some of you  the lot of you are growing amazing onions!  Here are a few fun bits from the garden today.

The first is an album seedling from what I believe to be A. rosenbachianum.  Then a new giant, World Cup, I added last Autumn, along with A. aflatuense (I hope the true one!), then we have a cute hybrid that showed up, plus a comparison shot of the parents and hybrid flowers.  The last is a newer hybrid I added last Autumn, 'Spider', luckily in a pot, as it is severely virused!  Pity, it is rather nice.

Wonderful Alliums everyone!

Some Alliums flowering here now:

Allium akaka
Allium litvinovii
Allium nevskianum
Allium platycaule

and an Allium which I bought together with A. platycaule. Could it be A. akaka too?

You have a lovely collection Wim, Did you show this akaka last year? Platycaule looks as if it is very happy  :)

Thanks Peter,

I showed that A. akaka last year too: you can see that here: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=5766.msg151691#msg151691.

A. platycaule multiplies very easily, last year I had only one flower.

Some Allium shoots in the garden, which had been growing well and making promising buds, have suddenly collapsed. There seems to be one or two areas on the stem where the tissues have lost substance,- to begin with they just soften and begin to bend but then the bent areas collapse to thin and discoloured mush....  is this a disease or a result of  extreme temperature changes (which we have had lately) ?? ???

I've had a suggestion by email that the problem with my Allium stems is caused by a fungus.
I wonder why there is no visible sign of that before the stems actually  begin to rot, some time after collapse?  ???

Maggi, could it have been weather-induced?  I have experienced this type of stem/bud collapse in the past; it used to happen more so when I lived in the milder Seattle Washington area.  Plants would get tender and pumped up with water under consistently mild conditions, their softened growth not hardened off by stronger sunlight and dryness, and then on a warm or hot sunny day plants would flag, and stems could collapse similar to what you show.  I've had less of a problem with that here in New England, where weather conditions are not as "soft". 

There is also the possibility that some sort of sucking insect has been at work on the stems.
