27. Allium nevskianum<br />

Very beautiful <strong>species</strong> with a large umbel of reddish-purple flowers on a short stem<br />

between two wide bluish green leaves, somewhat resembling A. karataviense, but<br />

much more spectacular <strong>and</strong> better grower here outside. Collected on stone slip near<br />

Chinoro, Varsob gorge, Tajikistan (RK-8139). 7.00<br />

28. Allium oreophilum ‘AGALIK’S GIANT’<br />

This very beautiful, early flowering form has large dense umbel of magnolia-purple<br />

flowers on 40 cm stem, useful even for cut flowers. From Agalik, Seravschan mnt.<br />

range. Identical with some offered under name ‘Torch’. 5.00<br />

29. Allium oreophilum ‘KUSAVLI CURL’<br />

One of the most beautiful forms of this <strong>species</strong>, in which very dwarf habit is in combination<br />

with unusually twisted leaves. Marvellous show-winner in pots <strong>and</strong> beautiful<br />

for rockery, here easy in open garden as well.<br />

30. Allium oreophilum ‘SULEV’S DWARF’<br />

It is the best of A. oreophilum varieties for growing in pots as is exceptionally dwarf,<br />

bearing darkest reddish purple dense umbel of large flowers on only 5 cm long stem,<br />

between 2 narrow leaves. Excellent selection made by my Estonian friend Sulev<br />

Savisaar.<br />

15.00<br />

3<strong>1.</strong> Allium orientale<br />

Very widespread <strong>and</strong> variable allium. This form was collected in Turkey, N of Akseki<br />

<strong>and</strong> it has large white flowers composed in almost spherical dense umbel. Ovary in my<br />

plants is dark green. 8.00<br />

32. Allium protensum<br />

Close relative to well-known A. schubertii, differs in more compact habit <strong>and</strong> is fully<br />

hardy in comparison with its ally. Height 30 - 40 cm. From S slopes of Sarimar mnt.<br />

(W end of SW Ghisar), South Uzbekistan. 10.00<br />

33. Allium “pseudowinklerianum”<br />

Flowers large, narrowly cup-shaped, purplish violet on 40 - 50 cm stem. Similar to<br />

A. cupuliferum, but umbel is more compact, different shape of leaves. Fergana mnt.<br />

range. By R. Fritsch it really is neither A. winklerianum nor pseudowinklerianum. Most<br />

likely new <strong>species</strong> but in any case - very nice.<br />

10.00<br />

34. Allium robustum<br />

Flowers deep purple in dense umbel on 50-70 cm stems, one of the earliest <strong>and</strong> very<br />

long lasting. From Tar-Bagatai mnt. range, Kazakhstan. 7.00<br />

35. Allium sarawschanicum<br />

Large airy umbels of violet flowers on 80 cm stem. The centre of flower umbel (pedicels)<br />

light green or purple. Very well growing, beautiful form <strong>from</strong> Agalik valley near<br />

Samark<strong>and</strong>, Seravschan mnt. range, Uzbekistan.<br />

4.00<br />

36. Allium scabriflorum<br />

One of the gems of my collection which up to identifying I nicknamed “Little Bluehead<br />

Beauty”. Late summer flowering allium with small, dense light sky-blue flowerheads<br />

on 40-50 cm tall stems. One of the last flowering <strong>species</strong> in my collection. I<br />

know no one similar to it. 15.00<br />

37. Allium schoenoprasoides<br />

By flower head it resembles A. schoenoprasum (for that its name) but stem is taller,<br />

flowers very light bluish, almost white. Makes beautiful bright green bulbs. From very<br />

high altitudes in Kugart, tolerates summer moisture. 12.00<br />

38. Allium sivasicum<br />

Beautiful dwarf allium (only 15 cm tall) with umbrel-like inflorescence as in A. flavum NEW<br />

but composed <strong>from</strong> mauvish-purple overlaid with a bloom flowers on pedicels of<br />

different length (LST-156).<br />
