This plant was found on a market in Aizawl, Mizoram, Eastern India by Paul Barney. Paul sells this form under the name Allium hookeri &#8220;Zorami&#8221;. It gets a mention in my book, although the cultivar name isn&#8217;t mentioned! It is growing slowly in my garden. The pictures are taken during a visit to Paul&#8217;s nursery Edulis near to Pangbourne in the Thames Valley, UK.<\/p>\n<p>See <a
