Question

I saw this beautiful purple bloom on my lunch break today and took a photo of it for Hometalk's Instagram that just launched (@HometalkTeam). Can anyone tell me what it is?!

Thanks!

An Allium. I don't know the variety but it might be an Allium Globemaster. Others on here may have a more definite answer.

I grew my very first allium this summer. My coworker gave me 3 bulbs she got from her garden club. They are definitely a fun flower to have in your garden.

I have these in my garden...They are wonderful, and they come up every Spring!

Frankie Laney · Answer

I'm pretty sure it's the Allium Globemaster. Agapanthus have a looser flower ball.

I bought some African lily's today

THANK YOU ALEXANDRA FOR SHARING THIS LOVELY FLOWER. I BELIEVE IT BELONGS TO THE ONION FAMILY BUT I'M NOT SURE. GROWING UP IN HOWARD BEACH, QUEENS, ON THE WATER SO MUCH ATTENTION WAS GIVEN TO WATER ACTIVITIES AS OPPOSED TO GARDENING. I LOVE LOOKING AT COLORFUL FLOWERS THO' AND DO HAVE THEM GROWING ON MY PORCH SINCE I LIVE AWAYS FROM A CANAL NOW.
