RE: Allium on steriods

Colin and all,

Close, but I don't think that is my plant. More of a total round globe,
many spikes from one center, with a flower on each end... if that makes
any sense! The seeds where at the center of each flower, two to four per
flower. Little black ones, not really in a pod so to speak.. just
there....If I remember ( HA HA) next year I will take a picture to post.


Not sure I am willing to wait the long times for seeds to become
something! By the time they get going, I will have forgotten what was
planted there. I am also thinking that throughout my garden, wondering
how many 'baby plants' I have pulled out in error or worse yet, mowed
over.... :(
