Allium unifolium

This onion relative is a California native that occurs naturally in our area. It is sometimes called the "single-leaf onion", which is a good translation of its Latin name - but not a good description of the plant, since it certainly has more than one leaf, A great drought-tolerant plant that does well in dry shade. Allium is now placed in the subfamily Allioideae within the Amaryllis Family, but previously this subfamily was considered as a family of its own - Alliaceae.

I'm not even in the garden per se and already found this beaut.

April seeds: Tulbaghia violacea; society garlic. I see this southern African perennial all over in gardens and nurseries, but I have never bought it or sowed seeds of it until today. #seeds #amaryllidaceae #allioideae #tulbaghia #tulbaghiaviolacea #societygarlic #sowingseeds #sowitandgrowit #lamacchinafissa #ruralitaly #mantua #mezzogiardiniere (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwfhQhNBlj0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k0fu0c4m1c05
