Allium amethystinum 'Red Mohican'

#allium #allium-red-mohican

Exploded! #allium #allium-red-mohican

Definitely !! 😍

@juliesgarden love how they grow upwards when they’re closing, like honey garlic 😍

The Mohican is growing out 😛 #allium #allium-red-mohican

Looking amazing 😍

😂😂😂

Great plant. Still waiting on my alliums to open.

Fabulous & very unusual to see one this colour 🤩

@hkyfvr @pelly @italydiva @jeatacake thanks all 🙏🏻 starts off looking like ‘Drumstick’ but the top half will soon explode upwards! A weird & wonderful one 😛

Very welcome. Weird and wonderful is the best 😁

#allium #allium-red-mohican

An explosion of red. ♥️

@hkyfvr @gjones @KOutdoors thanks ladies 😁 didn’t get a chance to fully grow out the Mohican but it’s a great colour regardless ❤️

Always welcome Kerry. It sure is ♥️

They’re back 🤩 #allium #allium-red-mohican

Wow. What a beauty 😍😍

@hkyfvr thanks Diane 😀 they’re unique looking things once they start exploding 😛

@KOutdoors if you scroll back a couple of photos you’ll see what they turn into, and how they got their name 😉😂

I scrolled back and looked at them. They are beautiful ♥️

@hkyfvr @gjones @KOutdoors it’s almost as it only half the flower bothers to finish growing 😂 very punk rock, rebellious 🤣

Maybe it was going for a Mohawk style hairdo but failed. Wonder what you will get this year. 😊

@hkyfvr there’s only 1 so I hope it looks as crazy as possible 🤪😂

That would be awesome 😂

Love the red stalks. Very striking. ♥️

@hkyfvr have loved watching this one progress. Such a great colour & form ❤️

It really is lovely ♥️

#allium #allium-red-mohican

These are very #fragrant IIRC

Wow, it's packed full of flowers

@emch they are?? 😮 I’d never thought to smell them 🙈

@alan1111 they’re so densely packed 😍 one of my favourites so far this year

@kez001uk I'd advise against smelling these unless you delight in the fragrance of moldy onions LOL

@emch oh 🤣🤣🤣 they can stay up the corner then 🥴

#allium #allium-red-mohican

That is incredible. Reaching to the heavens. Awesome photo Kerry. ❤️❤️❤️

@hkyfvr am surprised how tall these have got! The tallest must be over 4’ now! 😱

That is tall. Everything here is taller this year. My rudbeckia is 32 inches tall already. 🤷‍♀️😁

@hkyfvr oh wow 🤩 bet they look amazing 😛

They are tucked in the corner and getting ready to bloom. Will post then 🌼🌼🌼

@hkyfvr look forward to seeing them 😁

Thanks Kerry. A thunderstorm on its way. Hope nothing gets damaged. So hot and humid now. ⛈

@hkyfvr that’ll clear the humidity! 😛

We ended up with 2 storms. More soggy petunias. Heavy rains. One more day of humidity then much cooler. From 32 to 19. Weekend actually sounds normal temps. At last. 👍😍

@hkyfvr I guess that heatwave has created some crazy weather 😜 roll on the weekend and some normality! 🤞🏻

Love it when the weekend weather is good. Makes everything better 👍😍 @kez001uk

Cataloging. #allium #allium-red-mohican

A real beauty!

Lovely colour. Those are amazing. ❤️

@patburke58 thanks Padraig 😊

@hkyfvr thanks Diane ☺️ can’t wait to see the Mohican develop 😅

Very welcome Kerry. Yes that should be lots of fun. 😁

Wow just look at those bursting out!😍

@jeatacake they’re all exploding 🤩 I love them ❣️
