    Very attractive. But what is it called?
    I'm not really a flowery person but I do like the flowers and plant's that are sort of wild or wild looking (odd) .

    I bought a book on wild flowers and none of the flowers that we cannot identify is in the book .Lol

    Well I asked the oracle (my Mum) and she reckons it's an Allium, one of the varieties of ornamental Onion plants.
