Mark, your photograph really captures the presence of one of my favorite
alliums. The flowers
are somehow hyperdimensional in their stiff, bright whiteness, balanced on
that long, wiry stem. It's impossible not to reach out and touch them
gently. And I love the scarf.

Ornamental onion fans, just posted to the PBS wiki:
Allium guttatum ssp. sardoum - a fine European species, with dense heads
of
white flowers held precisely spaced, showing off bright white pedicels and
small fluffy white florets stained with a small dark blotch on each tepal.
