I adored this combination. It worked so well that year. The following year, things didn't bloom at the same time. Who knows why? And my allium had almost completely disappeared over the winter. I've replaced it this year and amending the soil with a ton of compost. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Actually, 2005 was the best year for this garden. Last year was sorely disappointing to me. I had many fewer blooms. Over the winter I have been heavily amending the soil as I believe that the soggy winters have been partly to blame for poor performance of some plants. They should be much happier this year.
