Truly a late purple giant

Excellent garden view, with the allium the star of the show.

Excellent banner Dirt!

That is just so gorgeous! Makes me long for June!

Beautiful banner but the Allium blooms steal the show! Nice.

Beautiful contrast Dirt! That purple allium is stunning!

The three alliums seem to stand guard protecting the delicate rose territory. A stately banner.

Nice contrast of color & form. Which rose is that? A David Austin?

Thank you all!
The alliums were a new addition for me last year--really impressive with how huge they were.

It's actually two roses there Cal--one Austin, Lady of Shalott, and a Kordes, Soul Sister

Alliums and roses make for wonderful companion plants. Beautiful banner Dirt.

I just planted some giant globe alliums this year for the first time. Really looking forward to seeing how they do! I have them near my New Dawn rose, that should be pretty. I so love the David Austens but I have given up on roses in my yard, except for New Dawn, which is unkillable.

What a gorgeous view!

re: alliums...... I tried the Globemasters years ago, but it's too warm here.
Now I get all mine in the grocery store.

I love the Alliums and was taken with the foliage and bloom on A. karataviense. And I found out it is too hot here also. So now I just admire from afar.

Really beautiful Dirt.

Thank you!
Actually, they don't mind the dry heat of a desert summer (it's too hot where I am too)--it's more the lack of a winter chill that does them in.

Impressive alliums! Rich color, perfectly round, and nicely composed. I hope they continue to do well for you.
