Re: Alliums Q&As
Another allium question: last year I planted some A. caeruleum bulbs and they were
very lovely this year - a good blue which is hard color to find. I let some of the
flower heads ripen also to save seed and I am confused as to what and where the seeds
are. There were some largish shiny black seed-looking things at the base of the
star-burst inflorescence but it also looks at if seeds may develop at the ends of the
little stem ends of what makes the "ball" of flowers. Which is the seed capsule? Is
the shiny black thing the capsule? What does a bulbil look like (one book I have says
members of the onion family produces bulbils)?
