Allium hollandicum 'Purple Sensation' syn. Allium 'Purple Sensation', Allium aflatunense 'Purple Sensation'

Morning all, sadly I don’t have any kitchen garden offerings but a very tenuous long lost relation of the onion family? #allium #allium-purple-sensation #ajmay

Good morning Angela Snap💜

Morning Angela … it’ll do for me 💜

Morning Enid…oh yes…great minds! 😉 @godfreye

Morning again Julie, pretty but not as tasty as your crop 🥒🍅🥕 @juliesgarden

Still so Beautiful Angela👏💕💜

It's a beautiful Onion flower 😀

She is a beauty Angela. 💜

Afternoon Angela. I just love these 💜💜💜

Thank you all so much for indulging my very tenuous link 😂 I must confess to being somewhat obsessed by these beauties 💜💜💜 @sho47 @hebelover @hkyfvr @pelly

Morning everyone, it’s going to be a wet one today ☔️ This allium is masquerading as a peony bud popping up between the peony leaves #allium #allium-purple-sensation #imposter #ajmay

It's trying to rain here at the moment ☔️☔️☔️

Just noticed this morning All the Alliums popping open

Hoping it will stop this afternoon Jane as I’ve got agapanthus that need planting 🤞 @pelly

Always uplifting when you notice the alliums springing into action 💜 @hebelover

Morning 🙂 Not long now….I’ve made the assumption it’s Purple Sensation by its location, but it’s looking more pink? 🤷‍♀️ #allium-purple-sensation #allium #ajmay

Morning, love seeing the alliums pop up! 😍

Mine are the same, they will darken 💜💜💜

Isn’t it just Ange! 😀 @anges

Ahh, that’s good to know, thanks Jane! I couldn’t remember how they started off last year 😊 @pelly

Morning Angela 💜🌸

Here we have my second #mutant #allium This one appears to be an #ostrich heading for the water 😂 #alliumpurplesensation #allium-purplesensation

Another mutant 😲 least they’re pretty ones 😉

Odd isn’t it? Wilko must specialise in mutant alliums, I’ve had a swan and an ostrich so far! 😂 @kez001uk

@italydiva 🤣😂🤣 readymade topiary alliums! Can’t be bad 😛

Good point Kerry, maybe they should be marketing them as specialist bulbs and charging triple the price!! 😂🤣😂 @kez001uk

Up periscope 😂😂😂

😃👍💜

@italydiva 🤣 love that idea! 🤣 I’d buy them for sure 😛

Big bird off Sesame Street 😂😂😂

Absolutely Jane! Allium Purple Sensation (Nosey Species) 😆😂 @pelly

I’m a bit disappointed I’ve only got two mutants…it’s rather exciting @anges

Oh yes! Big Bird! Maybe I can get the whole set of characters from Sesame Street and open up my garden as a theme park 😂😂 @juliesgarden

Thank you so much! 💜💜 @pelly @emch

Fantastic photo 💜💜

Great close up

Thank you 😊 @hkyfvr @hebelover

Very welcome 💜💜

The best part of returning home after a weeks holiday….seeing what’s been happening in the garden in my absence. These #alliumpurplesensation are wonderful 💜💜 #allium #colourpop

I know what you mean, I get so excited on the journey home 🙄😂

I can’t tell you how excited I was to get home. After having driven for over four hours Jane, my first priority was to get into the garden 👀 🌸 🌿 even though I was gasping for a cup of tea! ☕️ 🫖 The addiction of gardening 😆 💕 @pelly

I know exactly what you mean! 😄

Yup, that's me too 😂

I suspect we’re all exactly the same! 😆 The crazy thing is it looks as though my pots are parched despite all the rain!! How does that happen?! 🤷‍♀️ @ange @pelly

What’s going on here?! Up periscope! #mutant #allium #allium-purplesensation #strange

😆 it's a double-decker!

That's so funny 😂💜😂

Looks like a swan 👍🏼😀

😂😂😂

😄😄

You got a mutant Angela.....🤣 I love a mutant....

Tee hee! #mutation

Oh wow 😮😂

Weird isn’t it?! I’m going to rename it Allium Purple Swan! #swan 🦢 I’ll post another photo of my “swan” when it grows a bit more. 😆 @cee @pelly @sieveheadsarah @hebelover @anges @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @KariSamuel @kez001uk

@italydiva 🤣 will be interesting to see what it does 😛

Here it comes...! #allium #allium-purple-sensation #purple

Gorgeous! Can't wait for them to flower! 💜💜💜

Purple gorgeousness 💜💜💜

First time I’ve grown these, so I shall be excited to see these in full bloom 💜💜 @anges @pelly

They'll look fabulous. They're long lasting too as the seed beads look good too 💜

Gorgeous 💜

Love the way they take over after the last of the tulips @pelly

Fantastic colour 💜

Lovely photo 💕💕💜💜

Thank you Chris! 💜💜 @midnightgardener

🎶 I want to break free.... 🎶 #allium #allium-purple-sensation #bud #firstflower

I love watching these open. Yours are ahead of mine 💜💜💜

That’s gonna be spectacular.....I can’t grow them ☹️

Wow that’s way ahead of mine 💗💜💗

This one is a little way ahead of the others, not sure why 🤷‍♀️ @pelly @lovemygarden65

Here’s hoping! 🤞 Oh that’s a shame Elaine! You are so good growing plants too...is it the soil? @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I don’t know why....it’s just the very tall ones 😏

How strange 🤔 I guess we’ve all got our nemesis...for me it’s Daphne’s. I just can’t grow them at all! @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Apologies this photo may look familiar...cataloguing correctly this time #allium #allium-purple-sensation

Nice pink tips

It’s the first time I’ve grown these from bulbs so was very surprised to see these lovely pink tips so early on their shoots @sharonhayden 💗
