The allium on the right is purple sensation. The one on the left is a new one bought last autumn and is also supposed to be purple sensation but it looks more like Christophii to me. Any ideas gardeners please? 🤔💜

Purple Rain?

Don’t know Jane I haven’t got any but they’re both pretty to me...

Just had a look and that's a cross between purple sensation and christophii so yes, maybe. I'll wait until it's fully open, thanks Celina 💜 @cee

Thanks Elaine, they are aren't they 💜 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Both are beautiful Jane 💜💜

I believe Christophii 👍

Thank you Jeremy (b****y Parker’s bulbs again). It’s a good job I like them 💜 @jpea

They can be a pain and they're not even reliable for delivery times @pelly

These were from one of their garden centres that's near us. Their bulbs are sold loose. I had the same problem with some tulips. I will buy pre-packed ones in future and not from them!!! 👍 @jpea

@pelly. Thanks Jane l will keep my eyes on that now 👀🙏

Can't help but I like both! 💜💜

Morning everyone, the alliums are getting ready to pop at last. Have a lovely day 💜 #allium-purple-sensation

Morning Jane, can't wait for them all to be open 💜😃

Morning Ange, me too, they give for so long 💜 @anges

Yaay .. that’s if the wind doesn’t get them fist Jane !!🤬🤬 ... morning btw 😘😂

Morning Jane. I planted loads more this year ....love them. Enjoy your day 🙋‍♀️💜

Morning Julie, yes, that’s my worry too. I’m so fed up with the weather now 🤬 @juliesgarden

Morning Pauline, so did I but I still need more this year 💜 @flof1952

Oh me too , I’ve never known a spring like this one 😭

It’s one for the record book I think 😥 @juliesgarden

Morning Jane ☔🛶

Morning Jane, I managed to knock the head off one of mine yesterday, before it had even opened! Still lots to come

Morning Jane....💜👍🏼

My little Farmer Gracy order arrived this afternoon 💜 If the bulbs are as good as the packaging I’ll certainly be using them again #allium-purple-sensation #farmergracybulbs

They’re usually great Jane, I got my order Saturday and potted them up today 😍

Thanks Sarah, they certainly look like good bulbs 🙏 @sieveheadsarah

I used them two years ago. Very disappointing, nothing flowered

Oh dear, well time will tell 🤔 @joanboston

These are brilliant Jane , very reliable and all my Farmer Gracy bulbs last year were lovely @pelly

Lovely wrapping...👌🏼💜

I got some canna lilies from them this year and they were fine 👍😃

Good to know Marilyn, thank you 🙏 @lovemygarden65

It’s gorgeous Elaine, lovely bits inside the envelope too ✉️ @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Thanks Ange, recommendations are always good 👍 @anges

Oooo I have these too! Let's see how we get on shall we? Are you planting straight in the ground or potting up to transplant?

Morning everyone 🙋‍♀️, I hope it’s a good day for you 💜 #allium-purple-sensation

Morning Jane, thanks you too 🙋‍♀️💜

Morning Ange, thanks 🙏 @anges

Morning Jane. Enjoy your day 👋😃

Morning Pauline, thank you 🙋‍♀️ @flof1952

Morning Jane, these are one of the best flowers I have at the moment @pelly

I can't imagine a spring garden without them, I definitely need more for next year 💜 @jpea

Good morning Jane I love alliums🤗

Morning ☁️ Jane, happy Sunday. 💜

Unfortunately Jane I bought a load from Sarah Raven in early October last year but in the move didn't get to plant them, might do today just for the help of it but not holding out much hope @pelly

It wouldn’t be spring without them Enid 💜 @godfreye

Morning Mark, thanks and I hope you have a good one too 🙋‍♀️ @solly1961

Love these in all their stages, but the flowers didn’t seem to last long this year #Allium #alliumpurplesensation 31/5/19

Mine have lasted about 3 weeks which I thought was quite good? This is my first year so don't know how long they normally last

I'm sure mine have only been a couple of weeks if that Vivien @sadieberg 🤔🤔

I agree with you Jane, it sure has seemed like a short bloom time on my too!🤔💘😍

It’s a shame, but they still look good and they continue to for ages @ShelleySnyder 💜💚

That's very true!💘😍

Still a stunning flower ....💜💚

Think the bees have been busy with mine too, haven't lasted long either 💜💚

Definitely Elaine @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 💜💚

They certainly like them Barbara @missjeykll 🐝🐝

Mine aren’t even out yet !

You have them to look forward to then David @davosteel74 👍👍

Morning everyone, have a fantastic Friday. I’m not sure what happened to all of these, only four have popped up, there should be lots more, I guess they will have to go on my shopping list for autumn 💜💜 #allium #alliumpurplesensation #alliumhollandicum #purple 24/5/19

Morning Jane. Seems like a few of us are having the same issue. 😀🤔

Morning Jane 💜 I planted 304524 bulbs and nada! @scaryskates

Morning Jane! Ditto! Reckon something has eaten mine! Had loads last year and only about 8 heads this year! I wonder if mice/voles eat them?

Perfection 💜

Morning Steve, Gary, Denise and Sylvia, these are planted near my shed and we sometimes get mice in there so maybe they’ve had them @cotehow @scaryskates @Denise16 @SylviaDavies 🤬🤬

Absolutely Ange @anges 💜💜

Beautiful..morning Jane..lots of mine disappeared over the winter too ☹️🤔

Morning Julie, there seems to be a trend here, maybe it’s weather related @juliesgarden 🤔🤔

Morning Jane, such beautiful structures 👌👌

They're quite magnificent aren't they Jeremy @jpea 💜💜

That's for Jane. 💕

Morning peeps, I think these still look great even when they’re going over. Have a great Friday everyone 💚💚 #allium

Good morning Jane! You too!

I love the way these look to! Morning Jane enjoy your day!💘😍
