My Chelsea moment

I've always wanted to grow alliums, I associate them with the Chelsea Flower Show where they used to be a habitual favourite, but this is the first time I've planted them. Allium 'Purple Sensation' is the one shown in my photograph and I have it in groups with the slightly paler Allium hollandicum. Somehow they have survived the strong winds and exactly match the colour of the last remaining 'Havran' tulips which are almost at the end of their flowering - hastened along by the unkind weather.
