i planted my first alliums last fall. i got them from bleek's co-op and a local department store. the large ones globemaster and gladiator are something to behold with there large leaves and big stately balls. the smaller alliums are also beautiful and i'm looking forward to them multiplying, the first years they can look so sparce planted so far apart. they were one of the only things blooming, in my late may garden. i need to do work on plants to surround them/or co-ordinate with them. i'm working on that ;).
rutholive, i like the schubertti, they remind me of sparklers at the fourth of july. :) they are on my "want list".
beard, there are so many wonderful alliums out there. i know you will have a great time looking for "just the right ones" for you. of course if your like me it will be hard to narrow the list down to just 1 or 2 varieties. enjoy.
here are a couple pictures from my gardens. the first ones are with some asiatic lilium, in front of them.
