Allium oreophilum
Also called Pink Lily Leek
Allium oreophilum, the pink lily leek, is a species of monocot plant in the Amaryllidaceae family native to an area extending from Western China to Turkey and the Caucasus.
Allium oreophilum produces one spherical bulb up to 2 cm (2⁄3 in) in diameter. The scape is short for the genus, rarely more than 20 cm (8 in) tall. The leaves are flat, narrow and longer than the scape. The umbel is a loose dome with 10–15 pink or red flowers in late spring and early summer.
