Allium bulbils?


Afternoon! I planted Allium Purple Sensation in the autum and had a great display. I’m slightly confused that I appear to have two different varieties as the colour difference is marked- this isn’t a problem, I like it - any idea what they are? Also one of the darker flower heads appears to have produced bulbils, none of the others have done this and the few articles I’ve read do not list this variety as producing aerial bulbils... anybody had this happen? Odd that only one out of dozens has.... and final question, if they are bulbils, when do I take them off and plant them? Thanks! 1

Last year I bought three Ambassador, 1 Cristophii and two Gigantum. The newer smaller bulbs take a only a little longer to grow to full size.
More plants I have fallen in love with.
(I also grow my chives for decorative purposes.)
