True, some do take some time to get to bloom. Most of the allium I've requested are quite quick to bloom fortunately. Linda It is possible to grow onions from seed and get a crop inside six months - I wonder if any Alliums can be flowered that quickly. I grew Allium cristophii from seed and it took of the order of five years. -- David Pilling http://www.davidpilling.com/ _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
