Beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing. I had assumed my alliums would come up a second year and I did have little shoots poking up the next spring but they disappeared and there was no repeat flowering from the bulbs themselves. Someone later told me that I should have dug up the bulbs and separated the new bulblets (?) and replanted those. Have no idea if that's true or not.

Mine come up every year and if you don't weed the 'grass' around them you'll find the babies come up too.
Unfortunately 1 bulb = one flower each year
- so if your very naughty toddler goes round oicking the buds that's your lot....(same for agapanthus and peonies and toddlers....not that I'm bitter!)
