This flower (and I forgot the name of if) had finished blooming and was broken off. I picked it up and put it on top of my flower box. later, I took some of the seeds and and placed them in various areas in our garden. I guess I'll find out next spring if they took hold.
A filler from last July.
PS. Googled name: Allium Gladiator- Allium 'Gladiator' is one of the many giant ball-shaped onions in varying shades of purple. This one is a cross between A. hollandicum (syn. A. aflatunense of Hort.) x macleanii (probably). It has robust growth green leafage, tall stems of about 4' (120 cm), and lilac-purple flowers. I couldn't copy the picture of it.
