Hi folks,

I posted 3 photos of Allium hookeri var. muliense, an unusual species from
China, inhabiting forest margins and moist meadows in Sichuan and Yunnan
provinces, at 2800 - 4200 m elevation. The species in unique in having up to 8-9
leaves in fine condition at flowering, the plant looking more like a hemerocallis
than an allium, until the ball of bright yellow flowers appear in June and
early July. The flower stem is approximately 2'-4" tall (70 cm). This species
grows from thick fleshy roots attached to narrow cylindric bulbs.

Also, I updated a photo of Eremurus stenophyllus, removing the old photo and
inserting the new one. This year my plant had 12 magnificent flowering
spikes, and was a true sensation. Photo located at:
