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.
No prizes so don't even ask.

I don't think 3,4,6,7,8 and 9 are alliums. ![Huh Huh](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/huh.png) Sometimes fools rush in though, where others fear to tread!

5 is some sort of leek? Not sure about any of the others although there are probably welsh & walking onions hidden in there
Given what I'm growing this year I'm interested in the answers!
