Allium platycaule

Allium platycaule S,Watson - is a western American allium from California, Oregon & Nevada. They occur on rocky or sandy slopes. The foliage is broad, gray, and sickle-shaped and arching sideways (falcate), and the large fuzzy globes of pink flowers only a few inches above the ground create a memorable sight. In the first photo, two bloom heads of the darker red-purple Allium falcifolium Hook. & Arn. can be seen. First two photos by Mark McDonough, last photo by Nhu Nguyen at the UC Botanical Garden.
