Title: allium ellissii - Collection PF 2571 from Iran
Post by: Luc Gilgemyn on December 02, 2007, 12:24:41 PM

A friend (and devoted bulbgrower) of mine is looking for seed (or a bulb) from
Allium ellissi - collection PF 2571 from Iran
He grew it succesfully for a number of years, but it never devided or set seed.
Now he lost it... :'(
Would there be anybody on the forum who grows it or who could indicate a source ???

It would make a great Christmas present  ;D

Luc,

I can't help (unfortunately) but it is EASY to see why you'd like to find it for him. Another stunning allium!

So frustrating to lose such a plant, especially with such a fine seed provenance. Sorry we can't help, Luc.

I agree Maggi and Carlo , it is a magnificent plant and my friend realizes that it will be difficult to trace a replacement. :(
Obviously a specimen from another collection would be just as welcome.
Anyway, what could be a better place to make the enquiry but this great forum ?  :D
