My Allium has no flowers so far this year, is it a waiting game at the moment? or should they be flowering by now. x Jackie x

Have they put up a spike in the middle? Mine only produced a flower spike last week and have yet to flower. I guess some maybe late bloomers!
This is the only 'drumstick' that has appeared in my garden so far this year - I normally have 20-30 spikes per annum, so perhaps it's still rather early?
We live by botanical gardens and all the ones in ther have been flowering for a couple of weeks, we're in the north
Lots of purple pom poms here. Purple sensation have finished, globemaster in full bloom, and christophii just starting.
Are they in a very shady position? perhaps not enough sun to build up the bulb last year?
Mine do not flower until later summer, so maybe the same variety as yours.
Mine have now got bud on, looks like its a late bloomer after all.
Thanks for all coming back to me
