Hi PBS'rs, Another message from me as a precursor to a more detailed follow-up message (I'm posting this at 7:20 pm from work, letting the traffic wane and the roads to clear from our 1" of predicted snow that has turned into about 8"). I wanted to let you all know, that I have uploaded a large number of Allium photos, but have only linked a portion of them so far. Added a couple dozen links today. I was going to do more last night, but "coming down" after a weeklong deadline for a presentation at work yesterday, when I went on the computer last night I actually fell asleep at the computer. I'm amazed I actually don't topple over off the stool, but somehow I manage to stay upright while dozing. Some hightlights of what I added: ================================ On the main Allium page at: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… I added some "garden views", 2 shots showing the allium garden in mid July at the height of the summer Allium season. The 2nd shot evokes considerable sensation for me when I view it, the garden a simmering landscape of pastel flower sprays and color bobs waivering in the hot breeze on a day in the upper 90s (Fahrenheit) or 36 Celsius. Typically the summer blooms hold mesmerizing attraction for bees, and a walk among the garden is accompanied by a constant drone of buzzing, the flowers wafting a decidely sweet scent. On the American Onions page at: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… I posted photos of the following species and forms: cernuum in several varieties, including the one I named 'Oxy White" (syn. A. oxyphilum), the incredibly sweet scented pixie A. perdulce, the hardy Mexican A. mannii and kin A. plummerae from Arizona and New Mexico, a nice pink A. amplectans, and two shots of A. canadense forma florosum. More info on each of these can be found on the image links. On the Allium flavum & kin page at: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… (watch for URL wrapping) I have added a couple more images of Allium flavum ssp. tauricum color forms, and images of related kin, namely paniculatum and sibthorpianum. On the Big Ball Alliums page at: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… I added a photo of the super-mega onion Allium 'Globemaster" and an image showing the excellent seed heads (photographed in my office today!). On the Allium Hybrids page at: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… I added several very interesing spontaneous hybrids and selections. Check out Allium cernuum x rubens, stellatum x nutans, stellatum (or cernuum) x senescens, and a two-tiered white form of Allium angulosum. Lots of interesting things. Ok, have to drive home the 38 miles from my office in the snow.
