39. Allium sosnowskianum<br />
It is almost impossible to misidentify it. Individual flowers are small, slightly greenish<br />
white with thin blue midrib composed in spherical dense umbel. Stem is side growing<br />
bringing the flowers in some distance <strong>from</strong> bulb. 20.00<br />
40. Allium sphaerocephalon arvense<br />
This sub<strong>species</strong> by my opinion is even prettiest than type form. Its dense flowerheads<br />
seem bicolour - central closed florets are white with green midrib <strong>and</strong> exerted purple<br />
anthers, lower florets surrounding flowerhead are deeper purple toned especially at top,<br />
giving very beautiful combination. Originally collected between Korkuteli <strong>and</strong> Fethiye<br />
in Turkey. Flowers much later, with rounder flower head than in other forms. 10.00<br />
4<strong>1.</strong> Allium x stipineva<br />
This Allium appeared between seedlings of A. nevskianum in garden of E. Dambrauskas.<br />
Regardless of name, R. Fritsch found that other parent is A. sarawschanicum. It<br />
combines best features of both parents - large dense light purple flowerheads on 50-60<br />
cm tall stem, it well keeps leaves during flowering time. Very different <strong>from</strong> my A. x<br />
nevsar. 15.00<br />
42. Allium subhirsutum<br />
Very nice Turkish <strong>species</strong> <strong>from</strong> Baba-Dag mountains with large, pure white flowers in<br />
lax, spreading umbel up to 10 cm in diameter. Very nice, delicate <strong>species</strong> of unusual<br />
shape. 4.00<br />
43. Allium suworowii<br />
Flowers pinkish lilac in dense semiglobose to globose umbels on 70 - 80 cm long stem,<br />
leaves narrow. Need sunny, well drained place. From Sina, SE Uzbekistan (ARJA-<br />
9828). Great rarity available only <strong>from</strong> me. 10.00<br />
44. Allium tauricola<br />
Another nice <strong>species</strong> for rock garden. Flowers cup shaped, with acuminate segments,<br />
dull purple, edged white. We offer a tall growing form <strong>from</strong> NE Turkey. Height 30 cm.<br />
Flowers at the end of June - July. Showy <strong>and</strong> easy to grow. 8.00<br />
45. Allium tchihatschewii<br />
Excellent, dwarf mid-summer blooming allium with bright purple pendulous florets<br />
on long violet shaded pedicels composed in loose inflorescence on 15-22 cm long<br />
stem. Excellent pot plant for exhibition. From NE Turkey, S of Kusedagi gec. near<br />
Gumushane. 12.00<br />
46. Allium woronowii<br />
This beautiful early summer flowering <strong>species</strong> seem to be more widely distributed in<br />
Turkey than mentioned in Flora of Turkey. This stock is collected near Ulupinsk, East<br />
of Bozkir <strong>and</strong> has very nice, large star shaped, light violet flowers. 8.00<br />
AMERICAN ALLIUMS<br />
47. Allium acuminatum<br />
An outst<strong>and</strong>ing small onion which grow on volcanic plains <strong>and</strong> foothills of the American<br />
West in May <strong>and</strong> June. There are S-facing slopes coloured rose-violet in late<br />
spring. The 5-7 cm heads are on 10-15 cm stems with the tepals gracefully curling<br />
outward as they are tapering to sharp points. Rocky clay soils on grassy slopes. 5.00<br />
48. Allium acutiflorum<br />
Large pink flowers in dense umbel on 40-cm high stem. Beautiful <strong>species</strong> of slender<br />
stature <strong>from</strong> S. France. Nice for rock garden where it flowers in early summer when<br />
most of alpines have finished. Definitely worth wider cultivation. 5.00<br />
