perhaps it's Allium sikkimense Baker  - lovely little blue onion, flowering in July.

Filaments should be shorter than petal length with A. sikkimensis, according to Flora of China.  It looks small enough to be A. cyaneum?

Thank you, think probably A. cyaneum, but it's very small compared with the description. That's what I put on the label anyway!
