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?
