Actually it is an ornamental flowering onion, according to the Wikepedia description, but it does not look much like an onion. I have had them a few years in my garden and they are always good for an impressive flower. At the moment they are busy with their buds. From the size it looks like it will be a good year. I just hope it does not get very much colder, although I do not think that will damage them. At the moment we are a cold spell and now and again we even get a few snow flakes. Our local mountain is now quite white at the top which is unusual for this time of the year, but the weather gods tell us it can only get better.

It seems a peony was interrupting the allium as it had begun to show its flowers.
