TQ1568 : Ornamental alliums at Hampton Court Flower Show

near to East Molesey, Surrey, Great Britain

Ornamental alliums at Hampton Court Flower Show
Ornamental alliums at Hampton Court Flower Show
The show covers a large area either side of the long water at Hampton Court. A big difference from the Chelsea flower show is that exhibitors don't just show their wares - they sell them, and you see visitors walking around with carrier bags and trolleys loaded with plants. There is a plant creche where plants can be left till you are ready to leave the show, and a service to deliver plants to the car parks.
The alliums shown are on the stand of the Dutch firm Warmenhoven LinkExternal link . We had some ornamental alliums in our garden but over the years the flower heads have become smaller - apparently we should deadhead them to avoid this. I bought three bulbs of Globemaster - the one in the photo, or else very similar.
