You can already grow some magnificent plants, what are a few alliums? They just happen to do very well here, and therefore I am exploring a whole range.

I really admire the Teucrium hircanicum but the fact that my local garden guide doesn't list it isn't a good sign.

These eroded rocks and mud, then went on to become conglomerates.
