sea onion bloom


sea onion bloom (Urginea maritima (Adasogani))

Another. Good times! :-) Found that it is a sea squill. Haven't found the specific variety yet. Neat!

No smell that I've noticed. It was a real interesting google search. Wild Mediterranean bulb. MikeC has one as well, a young one. This is my first bloom stalk, 5 feet long, really a presence.

What else?

See who else is growing Urginea maritima (Adasogani).

See who else has plants in genus Urginea.
