Two lovely late-blooming alliums have made my days weeks this fall:
- Allium thunbergii 'Osawa' showed its first colours in the first week of october...

- Allium callimischon ssp haemostictum has been wonderful this year too, even though it lasted "only" three weeks in october...

Do you grow any other fall-blooming alliums? I'm really fond of these, and would like to add more!
