It seems that allium is another name for members of the onion and garlic family. How this one got into my garden I have no idea. It first appeared two years ago and arrived again this year. Apparently they grow when they feel like it. Although I cook with oinion and garlic (some times a little too much garlic perhaps) I do not plant it in the garden. I think this one is a wild garlic. It spent the best part of the month growing on a very very long stalk and yesterday the bud burst open to produce it many flowers. I will keep an eye on it and see how it develops.

Chronicles of an Anglo Swiss 
After one of our hurricanes a few years ago, seeds must have spread everywhere. I have gladiola and redbud that I never planted that have been growing and blooming every year. Weird how that happens. This allium is pretty!

Lots of people cultivate them as decorative plants. They are really beautiful in the back of a garden.

Gee, I can not identify it. It is obviously an Allium, but beyond that, I have no idea. I do not know what wild garlic is like, since it is not grown here. Garlic was developed from wild sorts before it was brought here. The wild sorts stayed home.

I found something similar in the computer with pink flowers when they appear. I really do not know how it got into my garden, but ir is quite attractive

Tulbaghia violacea is also known as garlic, or society garlic. It has pinkish or pinkish lavender flowers. It is grown as an ornamental. It is different from this picture though.
