The document below is in Norwegian but contains many pictures from my first visit to Vestv\u00e5g\u00f8y in the Lofoten Islands to see the stands of naturalised victory onion (seiersl\u00f8k), Allium victorialis, including a harvesting trip\u00a0with\u00a0Judith\u00a0van Koesveld (she and her partner Christoph produce a local pesto from the plants). The document also contains an account of a visit to Brynhild M\u00f8rkved at the botanical gardens in Troms\u00f8 to see the collection of Allium victorialis accessions from different parts of this onion’s extensive range (from the Pyrenees to Japan). Plants vary quite a lot in their form. \u00a0Finally, I visited Geir Flatab\u00f8 in Ulvik (Hardanger) in south west Norway and he showed me the large naturalised stand of this plant next to the Granvin river. There are also a few pictures from a collection of heritage ornamentals at the Lofotmuseet and from a visit to a once great but now derelict garden at\u00a0Finneset (Steinhagen). All pictures were taken in June 2009.
