#allium #giantpurple I assume these are #seedpods Should I cut these down now? #advice 16/07/28

Ok thanks @cyndi

I think they look pretty as they dry out and they self-seed which is always a bonus in my book 😉

Now that looks cool !! 😍

Think these look good even when the flowers have finished! #allium #giantpurple 19/06/19

It’s a whole different but very cool look 🤗🤗😊💕

It is isn’t it @terrimclaughlin

Was really hard to get a good photo of this bee as he kept moving around my #giantpurple #allium 05/06/19 #wildlifewednesday

They look beautiful Alison. 💕

Looking great 💜💜💜

Thanks @lilybee @kez001uk I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised with these considering I got them from Poundland!! And all 3 bulbs have bloomed!! 💜

Have to remember that in the Autumn when I go to buy bulbs. 🙂

What a vibrant colour 😍💜

Beautiful 💜💜💜

Thanks @richard.spicer.7906 😊 it really stands out

@anges Thanks. They are very striking.

#allium #giantpurple Looking forward to seeing this fully open 16/05/19

Me too! I haven't heard of this one before.

These were Poundland specials!! Very impressed with them to be fair. @ublaszko

I was impressed with my Poundland miniature tulips and I bought more bulbs for the summer. Not impressed with their shrubs though so I wouldn't buy those again. Perennials seems to be hit and miss. Some flowered in the first year and the others I've yet to see flower after 3 years 😥

#allium #giantpurple flower head starting to open up 09/05/19

#giantpurple #allium #buds are coming through 22/04/19

@bluefox23 white plastic fork..? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@lostgardener 😂😂 I keep forgetting they’re there! I don’t see them anymore. Past few years I’ve had issues with next door’s cat (RIP) digging up my pots when is planted new things and there was fresh compost so had to start putting spiky things in to stop her!! I need to start removing them now she’s passed on and the plants are developed!!

#foliagefriday 🙄 #giantpurple #allium Aren’t they so untidy?! 12/04/19

😆 It's the frog into a prince saga

They are but once their flower heads shoot up they will look amazing💜

I hope so!! First time growing them but the leaves really shadow the Muscari in the same pot! 😒 @Denise16 @belindah

Think these are my #giantpurple #allium poking their heads through #bulbs #springbulbs 02/03/19

Yep , alliums are easily recognised by pink tips to the leaves when they first come up. 👍

Can’t believe everything is coming up all at the same time! I know they’re not flowering yet but wasn’t expecting everything to be in leaf in February! @ublaszko

They're not really supposed to be growing or flowering all at the same time. We're in for another atypical year. The warm spell we had last week made my crocuses go over after just 2 weeks. Normally, they flower from late Feb to late March. And I already have daffs about to flower which normally don't start till mid-April. @bluefox23
