[Puenktchen]

Oh sorry. I did read the thread but must have overlooked it. No problem.

It was contained in the link in one of the early replies, so not obvious on the face of it

It's definitely part of the allium family because I have several in my own yard and they bloom for ages. Not sure exactly which variety they are since the allium family is so huge and I just don't have the time to search, but here's a start: Here.

I think the plant on the photos is Nectarosordum siculum. I think it is related to Allium.

Thats it.  Just couldn't remember the name.  I was sitting in the garden today watching the bees in and out of mine.

Buy them as bulbs and they will reward you for years

I actually gave a link to that on the 7th before Puenktchen - but everybody seems to have ignored it 
I think I must be invisible

Yup - I agree!

[mumofstig]

ignored again 

Cue manic laughter

Yes - definitely Nectaroscordum siculum subsp.bulgaricum - previously known as dioscoridis.
It is related to the Alliums, and we have had it years alongside a wall. No special treatment needed.
