Purple flower. Not sure what this is. I feel like it’s an onion flower? Any ideas?

@hpod16 its an onion, yes. Don't know which one.

@hpod16

For sure an Allium flower. There are plenty of varieties, including different colors (at least purple, white, yellow, if not more).

There's so many to choose from.

Two decades ago we used to get a garden seed catalog every year, and it had a whole section for Allium (onions) with the most pretty flowers.
They were the trader's favourites.

@hpod16 <confused> is this another EU quiz question?

@hlangeveld

Oh, the (in some ways) good old days of printed catalogs!

In some ways I still prefer catalogs to the digital offers.

And agree, Alliums have very pretty flowers. And they're very uncomplicated plants—at least the bulbs that make it and don't end up as food for mice...

Have you tried Flora Incognita?

@ives I was getting distracted by the beauty of spring and all these purple flowers around me.
Here's your daily EU quiz though: https://eupolicy.social/@hpod16/116481241962091050
