Allium sphaerocephalon

Good evening all! Just realised that things are stirring in the #wintergarden with my Drumstick #allium making a very early move! 😀 #firstshoots #newgrowth

Exciting 🤗

@susieg - Definitely Susie! Can't wait for the Gladiator alliums to show themselves too which I've underplanted these with! 😀

Brilliant. I have loads of them poking their heads through in my garden Ian. 😁😁. @bigemrg

@pelly - Fantastic Jane! Won't be long before all the bulbs are at it! 😀

Look forward to seeing the pics 🤗

@susieg - Watch this space, although I have to say that I don't usually have much luck with alliums! 😀

Fantastic Ian I seem to of forgotten where I've planted mine 😳👩🏼‍🌾

Haha! Snap, I was looking at mine earlier today and thinking they must be something else, but nope - early risers!

Yay! 👍🏼👏🏼 🌱🌱🌱 and well done, you've reminded me what I have planted in the end of one border, as I saw the shoots earlier (the same) and couldn't think what they were! 🙈 thanks! 👍🏼

@nessas - I must have printed a million labels Vanessa! I'm determined not to misplace anything this year! 😀

@richard.spicer.7906 - I couldn't quite believe what they were! Thought I'd mixed the labels up, but I hadn't! They've arrived before both my snowdrops and crocuses! 😀

Just uploading a few more spring bulb images to the plant database! These are Drumstick #allium planted on top of Allium 'Gladiator'! 😀

Love love love these... #anticipation 🤗🤔

@SikoMa - Me too Dar! They're the only alliums I seem to have any luck with! 😀

I got the purple sensation. I love the drumsticks better though. 😍

Anticipation 🤗

They are lovely when they open🤗

I have some of these, they are great and the bees love them

@clickchick - Another one where the bud is as beautiful as the bloom! 😀

@debs69 - It's definitely teasing me! 😀

@godfreye - Most definitely Enid! 😀

Love it we get two gorgeous photos can't wait until opens 😀

Perfection 👌

@bluebell66 - Am I right in thinking they are purple when they open? Or maybe magenta? I can't remember the variety! 😀

@clickchick - Me neither Jean! They seem to have been in bud for weeks now! 😀
