Alien Allium by gardencat

Alien Allium

These alliums usually open as a big round ball of tiny flowers but, occasionally, over the years, I've had one that grows a weird, alien-looking head on a stalk. Not sure what is at work here and I can't be sure if it is always the same bulb that produces this odd occurrence.
very artistic

I had an orchid which did similar and produced a whole new little plant with roots, leaves on a stalk!

@quietpurplehaze Interesting, were you able to grow it on as a separate plant?

Beautiful.

I left it there for a while and then, as it didn't flower, I cut it off. It did look a little bizarre.

Very much like your edit, it does give this little one a bit of a I'm just different quality.

It does look a bit like an alien. I've never seen one do this.
