Allium 2010

[LucS]

A first of many Iranian alliums in flower now: Allium noeanum is a rather small plant with flowers approx. 2 cm in diameter.
As with many Iranian species naming is not easy, so not 100% certain about its ID.

Luc,

but a nice one. In every way. Flowers and foliage. I love this allium with large foliage and "little" flowers. Does it smell?

Sorry for the late reply. No smell noticed.

Two more Iranian species from the "allium akaka" group :
  Allium haemanthoides
  Allium elburzense

[PeterT]

Two forms I have of A haemanthoides, one from Janis and one I grew from seed. also A minutiflorum from Janis, also A zebdanense, allium akaka and elburzense are not yet out for me

[PeterT]

also A Karataviense henrikii

I must increase my allium collection after seeing these photos

I have a few collections of A. haemanthoides, minutiflorum, akaka, bodeanum, etc. growing up from seeds. It is always a long wait till the first flower.
Nice plants by the way, though photos not always sharp.

Thanks Luc, your plants look great!
It was a long wait. This allium haemanthoides is twice the size of Janis's plant though I have been told it is within the range of natural variation, I like these alliums very much. if you have spares feel free to let me know!
 Sorry about the quality of the pictures, It is because I have only the digital camera on my 'phone as yet, which does not work well in poor light. I am at work during most of the sunshine hours

An allium from Turkey raised from Archibald seed. Allium colchicifolium, related to A. orientale and A. kharputense, has 2 broad basal leaves with hemisphaerical umbels of yellowish-white flowers on 15-20cm stems.

[LucS]

And two Iranian species also raised from seed:
  Allium caspium from the same section Kaloprason as A. schubertii and A. protensum but dwarfer
  Allium shelkovnikovii from section Acanthoprason with even a white seedling !

Wonderful 'onions' Luc II !!
