It seems to have been a bad year for some plants. Late Spring, wet summer except for three weeks  here. In Lancashire.

Nancy, my first thought was that it is a white form of Allium cernuum, my standard-colored pinkish ones are blooming now.  But there donât seem to be as many flowers as I would have expected.  See:

So I looked around for other nodding white varieties.  I found a few like A triquetrum and A paradoxum var normale, but their flowers are more bell-like and they donât have the âexserted stamens, and an ovary with a style.  â as A cernuum does. AND as do the flowers in your photo.

 

So, unless I come across something else or if someone else has something to contribute, it does seem like some version of Allium cernuum.

 Anyone know this Allium?  It is still here after zero degrees and ice last year.  Thanks, Nancy
