Dear Friends, Just opening in my cool greenhouse is a small pot of Allium perdulce. I received 5 small bulbs in late fall so potted these up against the coming cold winter. Now 4 of 5 have started to bloom and they certainly live up to their name: "very sweet". See some nice photos at http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… , but nothing can suggest the delightful fragrance. This is a fairly uncommon Allium both in he wild and in cultivation. It is found in the central Great Plains from Texas to S. Dakota. My plants are short - 4 to 5 inches - with tiny bright pink flowers that are richly and sweetly fragrant. I hope I can get them planted out where they will be happy as they are certainly choice and sweet little beauties. These should bloom in a month or two outdoors, so this advance on spring is very welcome. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
