6. Allium caesium ‘ZAAMIN’<br />

More traditionally coloured much darker form of this beautiful <strong>species</strong> with bright<br />

blue flowers <strong>and</strong> even darker midvein. From Zaamin, Turkestan mountain range. In<br />

other aspects very similar to the light form. 5.00<br />

7. Allium c<strong>and</strong>olleanum<br />

It is nice <strong>species</strong> <strong>from</strong> Turkey (LST-301) with pure white flowers on 30-40 cm tall NEW<br />

stems. Flowers has wide petals <strong>and</strong> due short pedicels forms very compact umbels of<br />

refined beauty.<br />

8. Allium cardiostemon Purple Gem<br />

This <strong>species</strong> traditionally has blackish-purple flowers in dense umbel <strong>and</strong> it flowers<br />

later than most of medium tall growing alliums. Offered is a very nice form, with small<br />

very dark, round flower-head on shorter (40 cm) stem. Collected near Of, in Turkey.<br />

Different <strong>from</strong> traditionally grown forms. 8.00<br />

9. Allium chloranthum<br />

Superficially similar to A. flavum but umbel is denser <strong>and</strong> flowers are greenish-yellow<br />

on 40 cm tall stem. Collected near Syrian border in S Anatolia, Nice for rock garden<br />

where it flowers when most of alpines are over, i.e. in midsummer. Not a difficult plant<br />

if good drainage is ensured. 5.00<br />

10. Allium colchicifolium<br />

Beautiful allium <strong>from</strong> NE Turkey with large semispeherical umbel of wide petalled<br />

white flowers with black ovaries in centre on ~30 cm tall stem between two wide<br />

leaves. Very impressive <strong>species</strong>. 15.00<br />

1<strong>1.</strong> Allium cupuliferum<br />

Flowers large, narrowly cup-shaped, facing upwards, purplish. In the beginning umbel<br />

is dense, later becomes lax due to the elongation of pedicels, which grow to different<br />

length. One of the most attractive alliums. Height 50 cm. Hissar mnt. range, Tajikistan.<br />

10.00<br />

12. Allium darwasicum ‘DARWAS WONDER’ (yellow form)<br />

Very distinctive intense greenish-yellow flowered form (one of the few yellow alliums<br />

with a true bulb). From Darvas mountains in Tajikistan. Nursed over many years until<br />

I was able to let it go to wider bulb enthusiast circles. 10.00<br />

13. Allium elburzense<br />

Beautiful dwarf Allium <strong>species</strong> <strong>from</strong> Iran (Elburz mountains - SLIZE-011) with big, NEW<br />

rounded umbel of large wide open star-like lilac violet flowers formed by narrow<br />

pointed petals on 10-15 cm tall stem between two broad elliptic leaves. Unfortunately<br />

under this name quite often another allium is offered. Our plants are identical with<br />

description in Flora Iranica.<br />

14. Allium flavum var. minus<br />

An excellent <strong>and</strong> free-flowering seed raised stock better in all aspects than the ‘normal’<br />

form of the <strong>species</strong>. Merits include dwarf growths, rich colouring <strong>and</strong> great variability<br />

in colour <strong>from</strong> bright yellow to lilac, including occasional reddish <strong>and</strong> even whitish<br />

toned plants. Good outside in the garden in a sunny, well-drained site, where it is tolerant<br />

but excellent in pots, too. 5.00<br />

15. Allium gypsaceum<br />

Unique, nothing to compare with in allium world! The dense flower umbels on c. 20<br />

cm tall stalks are produced in early summer. They are packed of comparatively big,<br />

narrowly cup-shaped straw colour flowers, prominently veined bright purple both on<br />

mid-veins <strong>and</strong> margin of segments. Exquisite. From arid, serpentine mountains in S<br />

Uzbekistan. 25.00<br />
