Dear PBSers, I keep on loving this tiny onion, but never get around to praising it totally. It is a winner. I am talking about Allium zebdanense http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… It is the earliest Allium in my garden. Years ago I got some tiny bulbs from Hoog & Dix (back when). I don't often see these available and probably because they are so tiny. They have formed a nice clump maybe 6-8 inches across and bloom reliably every spring in a semi-shaded area on the edge of a silver maple. The foliage is bright green and very grassy looking. I'd dread an indiscrimate weeder coming in a pulling this out in a minute. Before spring has barely started the incredibly thin pedicels emerge with buds forming on them. As the flowers open into small white tufts of multiple flowers, the seem to float inches above the foliage. The flowers last a decent amount of time and really deserve to be dug, thinned and moved around. I can completely recommend this tiny bulb for a spot in your garden where you'll see it early in spring for full appreciation. A winner. Mark any thoughts on this gem? Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
