About Allium haematochiton S.Watson

Allium haematochiton produces a small rhizome that is connected to clusters of bright red bulbs. Several leafless green stems grow from these bulbs, and a small number of withering, curling leaves are present on each stem. An inflorescence holding multiple flowers sits at the top of each stem, with each flower attached by a short pedicel. Each flower is just under one centimeter wide, and its color ranges from white to pinkish, with dark midveins. Six thick stamens surround a white or pink ovary.
