Got to be one…

…at least, every year.
       I can't remember which "me", and can'' be harassed to check, did a pair of very similar Buds a while ago.
       They were a Pheasant's Eye (Narcissus Poeticus, Cheers Crocus) and these "Allium nectaroscordum apparently AKA Allium Bulgaricum Flowers Bulbs (Summer Bells).  Just had a recheck - DUH, it's been rechristened
"Allium siculum, known as honey garlic, Sicilian honey lily, Sicilian honey garlic, or Mediterranean bells, is a European and Turkish species of plant in the genus Allium"
       As I once labelled a blip, in the mists of history its name "Tuksum finnan"   
       A search for "Graceful, pendulous onion flowers" yielded a nil return; nary a one.  It took "Graceful, pendulous, bulbous, mauve, flowers" before I found ONE reference.
       At the time they looked about of a height, and age.  However, the Narcissi - long gone ~ ~ ~  these - now almost 30 cm/1' taller and just recently  opened.        

Comical aside.  If the angle of shot is any criterion - NO WONDER we call them BUMble Bees?
