And Hi Joyce:
A dark tunic would indicate an amaryllid in which case
Hippeastrum petiolatum or some of the Cyrtanthi would be suspect. A clear
tunic (and garllic smell?) would point to Allium triquetrum and perhaps
neapolitanum. A pinkish shade to the tunics would indicate Allium roseum. A
pest form of this latter has come from San Francisco in the past and it had
a "mild" virus that rapidly spread to neighboring plants.
All the best
Alberto
