I looked at the photo of allium vineale in our database, and that's not the plant I have. It is as tall as the daffodils in that same bed. It has leaves as thick as a regular onion. The bulbs look like shallots, but smell more like garlic. Each leaf stalk has a single onion bulb, not a divided bulb like garlic.
I will try to get photos tomorrow.
They really blend in well with the daffodils. Same size, only these have thick hollow stems. The seed heads that remain on some are bigger than a ping pong ball and the bloom was white.
Hope that rings a bell with someone.
Oh how I wish I could find a teenager who could do the heavy work. I don't think such a thing exists anymore.
Mine used to do all that for me for free, but then they went away to school and got real jobs where they don't have to dig any holes.
