Dear Jane,
My husband renamed Allium triquetrum, Allium pestum. It is weedy in
Australia and New Zealand and Northern California. There is a state beach
where we hike each spring where there is an abandoned house that has slowly
deteriorated and is now unsafe. It is interesting to see what is left of
what must have once been planted there. It is there along with Zantedeschia
aethiopica. On this same beach there is also Oxalis pes-caprae. The form of
Watsonia meriana that produces corms in the leaf axils is the other one
that has escaped into the native vegetation.
