Hi there, so glad it was helpful.
What I mean is for each plant in our A-Z we try to have a primary plant photo but we also allow our members to add additional photos - which helps us enormously to show other members more versions of the plant.
So you'd login, go to the Nectaroscordum siculum (syn. allium bulgaricum) page and click 'Upload photo' under our photo. (Note: I just looked and there is something wrong with the upload photo functionality. I'll write back once fixed).
Kind regards,
Nicola
p.s. it could be another variety of Nectaroscordum e.g. Nectaroscordum tripedale

Hi sj beautiful plant! We have had a few replies from our Twitter followers. See here some suggestions of what your plant might be
Most popular option is Nectaroscordum siculum (syn. allium bulgaricum) If correct you can add to your plant list in Shoot to get care advice each month or buy this plant here
Please add your photo as an additional photo for this plant? We need more plant photos as we only have one currently. Thanks:)
Hope that helps, Nicola

Hi, it's Nectaroscordum siculum, Sicilian Honey Garlic - one of my favourite plants. It grows from a bulb so it must have been in the garden already....unless you planted it with something else, perhaps mixed in with daffodil bulbs. The dead seed heads are fascinating so don't cut then off in haste.

This is Sicilian honey garlic, or Nectaroscordum siculum. It is, as you suggest, a bulb, and is fully hardy. After the flowers, it will produce seeds thatl germinate easily. If you do not wish this plant to spread, then the smart thing to do is to remove the flowers as they fade, and before they have a chance to set seed.
I like this plant, even although it has quite a strong onioney smell to it. Its previous name was Allium siculum so you can tell who its close relatives are..
Good luck
