#spring bulbs
- Allium aflatunense — The scientific name of an ornamental onion species in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan). Growing from an underground bulb, the plant produces tall, rigid stems supporting a spectacular, globular inflorescence composed of dozens of small star-shaped flowers of an intense purple hue, making it highly popular in modern spring landscaping.
- Allium atropurpureum — The scientific name of an ornamental onion species in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to the Balkan region and Turkey. The plant produces rigid, upright stems supporting compact hemispherical or globular inflorescences composed of small star-shaped flowers of an extremely dark, near-black purple hue, highly prized in landscape design for the dramatic chromatic contrast it offers.
- Allium giganteum — The scientific name of the tallest and most imposing ornamental onion species in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia (Iran, Afghanistan). The plant is remarkable for its rigid stems that can reach heights of up to 1.5 meters, supporting massive and compact spherical inflorescences with a diameter of 15-20 cm, composed of hundreds of small, star-shaped lilac-purple flowers.
- Allium neapolitanum — The scientific name of an ornamental onion species in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to the Mediterranean basin, commonly known as 'white garlic' or 'Naples garlic'. The plant is remarkable for its loose, spherical umbel inflorescences composed of immaculate white star-shaped flowers that emit a sweet and pleasant fragrance, unlike the pungent odor of other species in the genus.
- Grecian windflower — A species of tuberous perennial herbaceous plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to southeastern Europe (the Balkans) and western Asia (Turkey, Lebanon). It is highly popular in horticulture due to its spectacular and early blooming, forming dense carpets of daisy-like flowers colored in intense shades of blue, violet, pink, or white, which open fully under direct sunlight.
- Peacock anemone — A species of tuberous perennial herbaceous plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to the central and eastern Mediterranean region (particularly Greece, Turkey, and the Balkans). It is closely related to Anemone coronaria but is distinguished by its large flowers with narrower and more numerous sepals, vividly colored in brilliant shades of bright red, pink, purple, or white, often featuring a pale or yellow central ring and a dark disc in the middle.
- Scarlet anemone — A stable botanical hybrid obtained through the spontaneous or guided cross between Anemone coronaria and Anemone pavonina, native to southern Europe. This tuberous spring plant is highly valued for its solitary, intense, and vibrant scarlet-red flowers, which feature a spectacular contrast with the center formed by a compact disc of blackish-purple stamens and fine filaments.
