Allium christophii
I saw this allium in a friend’s garden last summer, and I found something similar at Botanus.
It has purple star-shaped flowers, that have a wonderful metallic sheen.
Slowly, each bud is opening up.
Now they are just about fully out, and they are really big! I was expecting taller plants with smaller flowerheads,
but these are kind of squat with huge blooms.
