Allium stellatum


15 cm ruler for scale

Upright flower umbels of small, reddish-pink, star shaped flowers in late July. Flowers to 1 cm in diameter, flower umbel to 4 cm in diameter. Plant glabrous. Leaves linear. I've measured plants to a height of 47 cm. Habitat is listed as wooded areas in our Parklands, but I've also seen them growing on open prairie near Estevan.

The above photos were taken August 6th in aspen groves at White Butte, about 20 km east of our home in Regina, SK.
