Unknown Allium

[Carlos]

Any ideas? It came from rareplants.co.uk, it should be callimischon subsp. haemostictum but it is flowering now, it lacks the bloody spots, and it seems to me that it does not match subsp. callimischon either (also late summer to autumn flowering!.



Thanks

I have to admit I had MisIDs from Paul before, though mostly because he fell victim to an ebay scam himself, and no one can tell Tigridieae apart that do not flower.... I can't really help YOU, of all people with an Allium, but I have fixed your link - UK commercial sites tend to use .co.uk as 2 leveled top level domain...

Thanks, it seems that it is Allium staticiforme. Regarding the progress of my research, it might be more useful than callimischon, though I admit I'd still like to grow it.

Contact Dr Christian - he is pretty anal about plant ID's and may well help.
