Thank you for posting @englishtchrivy. Lovely photographs...really nice macro shots. Great topic...these alliums. Globemaster and Purple Sensation have been favorites....lovely when left to dry.
In bleujays garden cilantro and parsley like to bolt.
Here are a couple of queries for you? Are shallots in the onion family...bleujay does not remember the shallots flowering....however the shallots did very well in the garden. Are the garlic flowers to be cut off as well?
Have had good luck with onions.
Did you want to use the word 'vase' under the red Allium flower picture?
All the best. Cheers.
@bleujay thank you for giving out its common name. You are right they are indeed shallots .
Ah.. you do garden - the shallots I know in the Philippines also don't flower but to be exact this is an Allium Cepa var. Aggregatum also known as Allium Cepa var. Ascalonicum
EDIT: I don't have the ornamental alliums in my garden I would love to have a Globemaster but unfortunately I don't maybe I should get they will surely flower every year . As for the purple sensation I haven't seen one or maybe did but didn't know that it's called that.
There are many Allium Cepa varieties - I didn't think of the ornamental alliums to be confused with it when I wrote this am glad you asked :).
I only thought of the edible Allium Cepas and there's a lot of them and they also have different flowers. I want the one with the bulbs on top I think they call that a tree onion. These ones are in my small moestuin in the volkstuin - as they call it. We also had Allium fistulosum var. bulbifera a white one with white pollen holders in the back yard last year - it also bolted but I wasn't in Steemit when it bolted. That one is a hybrid of Allium Cepa and Allium Fistolusom they call it "sint-jansui ui" in Dutch
Yes, vase indeed @bleujay thank you very much!
