    Hi wakeshine, not certain but could it be an allium?

    It was very short though

    Sorry, I couldn't get a photo of the whole plant as I was using my macro lens and the place was crowded so I couldn't step back. Is it cornflower?

    Oh thank you. I have actually just looked on Avon bulbs website - it was their stand and yes I agree it is Scilla Peruviana. How beautiful it is. Has anyone had an experience of growing it?

    It's on my Avon list of bulbs,wakeshine.image Think I'll grow it in a pot at first.

    By the way..

    It does not come from Peru.

    It is named after a ship!
