Jerry, Thanks for the info on Allium scorzonerifolium v xericiense. I may put some in the garden eventually but at present have only one bulb. I will heed your warning about v. scorzonerifolium. So far I've avoided weedy Alliums except for A. carinatum (or A. pulchellum, don't know which name is current), but it's just out in the garden and I appreciate the August flowers; also it's good for cutting. A. moly is not a weed here; it stays in its spot. Hope you are not getting flooded out -- or are you now in a rain shadow area? We are having nice weather with record warm temperatures here. Best regards, Jane
