A little secret I’ve had since last autumn (apart from a select few) when I was told that I would get my very own Allium bed at the Ringve Botanical Garden in Trondheim :) <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Yesterday, 18th August 2017, I finally got the time to start the planting. I will be planting both the collection of old Norwegian perennial onions that I have collected from all over the country over the last 10 years and a selection of species Alliums to show off their incredible diversity! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The first phase was mainly the planting of my old Norwegian onion collection, Allium schoenoprasum (chives \/ gressl\u00f8k), Allium fistulosum (Welsh onion \/ pipel\u00f8k including old Norwegian roof onions from Gudbrandsdalen) and Allium x proliferum (walking onions, tree onions, Egyptian onions \/ luftl\u00f8k, etasjel\u00f8k). I also planted about 22 accessions of Allium cernuum (nodding onion, Chicago onion \/ pr\u00e6riel\u00f8k) plus a few others like Allium carinatum pulchellum and Norrlands onion (Norrlandsl\u00f8k). <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It was a long day starting at home at 8 am with packing, sorting and documentation, returning home after 10 pm – it was worth it for the sunset from the garden over Trondheimsfjord!! Looking forward to phase 2 which will probably be in September!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks to the Norwegian Genetic Resource Centre and particularly Morten Rasmussen for funding the bed preparation and <\/span><\/span>Vibekke Vange<\/span><\/span><\/span> and the staff at Ringve for making me feel so welcome!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
