Wow amazing shot Richard 🎓📷

#alllium christophii really staring to open up now. Hoping these get as big as footballs! 😳

Fantastic , they definitely look better in a group rather than dotted around 💜@Richard.spicer.7906

I agree with @lovemygarden65 . Grouped is far better , more impact 😍

Gorgeous 😍

I've never bothered with Allium much apart from a few Chives but I now have a shed load of bulbs pre-ordered just because of your photos popping up in the discover feed! You're costing me a small fortune 😜

Good morning 😁👋🏼☕️ , hope you all enjoyed your weekends. It's back to work today! Had a little wander round the garden yesterday evening and lots of plants have burst open whilst I've been away, including this lovely #allium. Enjoy!

Morning Rich. Mine just flowering too. Love the metallic looking flowers on these alliums. Have a good one😊😊

Good morning @richard.spicer.7906 ........stunning photo. Have a great day :)

Morning, thats lovely, hope you had a fab holiday

Morning Mike 👋🏼 yes, they are starting to look just as I'd hoped. They are about half open right now so will be interesting to see what they look like in a few days. First time I've tried these ones, I like the fact they are more open than most other alliums, and as you say the colour is a little metallic too 😁@mikethegardener

Morning Richard! It's a stunner! Don't work too hard! 😀

They're early, where do you live, so looking forward to mine but they are at least a week away.

Morning Mike and everyone else, what a beautiful day it is in sunny Scotland. Looking forward to spending time in the garden today. Have a good day at work everyone!! 😀😀

Sorry Richard I meant to say good morning to you first lol have a good day!!!! 😳😍😍

Morning Rich! What a lovely allium, I love them dried in the autumn, they look stunning any time of year. Hope your first day back at work isn't too traumatic 😁

Morning Pauline 👋🏼 @flof1952 , hope you have a great day too 😊

Bonjour Richard, thank you for sharing all mine have disappeared 😂😂😂 and they were doing so well until a couple of weeks ago 🙈😱😏

Afternoon folks! More Alliums breaking through this week 👊🏼 #newgrowth

👌👌👌

I've 🕵 spotted a rumble in the ground here also 👏🏼🙌🏼

This one has quite a big flower @richard.spicer.7906 ?

Yes - massive 😮 , hopefully I didn't plant them too close! @debs69

The big guns are coming out Steve 🙌🏼👊🏼💪🏼😀

The big guns are coming out Steve 🙌🏼👊🏼💪🏼😀 @lamaisonbleueoleron

I love it Deborah, seeing all the new growth 😊 @latebloomer

@richard.spicer.7906 I'm sure gives you a spring in your step young Richard 😂 👌

One of the new Alliums joining my garden. Christophii is not a particularly tall variety but it has large structural blooms which are very pretty - even after it has finished flowering. 🤓

Planted 15th November

@richard.spicer.7906 Good choice 👏🏼👍 I planted these #alliums # Christophii same time last year for the first time. I was rather impressed for the length of time they flowered. It's a plus if you like cut flowers. I'll try and find a snap I had taken during early spring!

Excellent - always good to hear that others have had good experience with them. Really looking forward to next spring now 😁. Thanks Steve! (Will look out for you pic too)
