Do you know your onions? - Veggie - 25-01-2021

I've taken nine photos of alliums and lookalikes in the garden today.

Can you identify them?
Please post your answers and lets see who would eat what and whether they would be wise to do so.Wink

No prizes so don't even ask. Tongue

I don't think 3,4,6,7,8 and 9 are alliums. Huh Sometimes fools rush in though, where others fear to tread! Rolleyes

1, 2, 3 & 4 look like daffodils to me
5 is leek
6 not sure, but think it’s babington perennial leek
7 looks like tulip
8 I’m not sure
9 snowdrops

5 is some sort of leek? Not sure about any of the others although there are probably welsh & walking onions hidden in thereSmile

Given what I'm growing this year I'm interested in the answers!
