I found a flower, but I can't find its name on any book. I have a
photograph, I can send it to anyone that can tell me the name.

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 13 Aug 2006 23:20 PDT

Hello brunosimo-ga,

Do you have a picture showing the leaves as well? Where did you see
this flower? In a garden? Where? Growing wild? Where? Where have you
already looked trying to identify it? The more you can tell us, the
greater the likelihood someone will be able to find an answer for you.
Thanks.

I would say it is Allium pulchellum also known as Alliun carinatum. A
member of the onion

family.<br>
