About Allium hyalinum Curran
Allium hyalinum, commonly known as the glassy onion, grows from a cluster of bulbs. Each bulb produces a tall stem, and the top of each stem holds an inflorescence that can contain up to 25 flowers, though it usually bears fewer. The flowers are white or pink-tinted white, with six shiny tepals that turn transparent as they age. Allium hyalinum var. praecox (Brandegee) Jeps., formerly included in this species, is now classified as the separate species Allium praecox Brandegee.
