This is officially the tallest Allium on Mastodon. According to my poll. And that’s good enough for me.

UPDATE the undisputed tallest Allium on Mastodon is now 134cm - or roughly the height of one and a half fire hydrants (for my US friends)

@RHD

If it's on the internet it has to be true. They don't let you post things that aren't true.
So congratulations on having the tallest Allium.
😁

@hanscees
Well I was standing upright when I took the photo 😉
Our garden is approximately 46m/150 feet above sea level. Go on then…

@RHD How many marmots balancing on their tails would that be?

@RHD I'm presuming marmots have tails. If not, please substitute with another small mammal.

@RHD For readers in Wales, that's 1½ sheep. Or one sheep up on its hind legs to reach the tasty looking allium.

@pthane sadly the village sheep died 10 years ago…

@RHD Respect from the 6th floor.

@rolfo never said it was the highest 😉🤣

@RHD Good to see you use the US standard fire hydrant measure. Maths have always been a challenge here. My allium are just emerging. #Gardening

@acm_redfox reckon that’s about half the width of a UK bus, as in ’come on mate - you could get a bus through there!’
