MEDITERRANEAN BELLS - NECTAROSCORDUM (allium) SICULUM

Description:
Grand and ornamental, its naked stems bear a crown of bell-shaped flowers that glow green on the outside with striking lilac-pink markings on the inside.

This exceptionally tall and handsome plant from the shores of Sicily will add an extra dimension to your cottage garden border.

Thanks so much for commenting. I really appreciate it a lot.
The focus, indeed, not very sharp, but I did that on purpuse to get a soft focus.
To make them look more fragile.
