https://www.plantarium.ru/page/image/id/457965.html (https://www.plantarium.ru/page/image/id/457965.html)

But i cannot find an id tag

A prior SRGC post.

Allium ovalifolium is up with the Eranthis here in Minnesota.

And isn't this interesting: its flowers open first in the middle of the umbel, rather than the outer parts.  I have only seen perhaps a dozen Allium species bloom, but this is a first for me with this genus.

I was given this allium by a friend last Saturday. It is more than a meter tall with umbels of 2-3 inches in diameter. Any idea of what it is?

Thank you, Maggi. You are always of help. I don’t have a slightest idea of why my pictures are always upside down. I will try next time to turn the tablet the way suitable for the left handed

I find any photo by an iphone gets rotated on this forum. The iPhone snap needs to be modified in some way to post here. I typically crop or straighten than post.

Is A.tuberosum mainly used for ornamental purposes? Have you ever tried it?
They are sold at a supermarket for about 1 EUR.

Allium tuberosum is  used  a  lot  for  culinary  purposes, but  the  good  thing is  that  it  is  also ornamental!

I have never seen them sold to eat in Minnesota, but I regularly use them.

Hi Ashley, this looks similar to a species I grew from 2008 NARGS seed, came as Allium sp. Turkey (I believe it was from Erzerum province), which took 7 years to flower, I keyed it to Allium lycaonicum.  However there is a 2013 technical publication that describes two new species from Erzurum that look similar, Allium serpentinicum and A. kandemirii. You can see this paper at this link:

Thanks for your opinion Mark. 
Yes I considered A. lycaonicum too but was not certain.  However next year I'll check my plants against this paper.

Hello,Maggi and Rick R.
Thank you for the information. It's interesting for me. This is the pictures of Allium chinense which is known as vegetables in Japan. Both they are grown for eating purpose.

Looks like it was described in the last century (1996?)
