The Transylvania region of Romania, of course garlic is a matter of life or death (undeath?) there. On a more serious note, does anyone from the UK frequent this site and can tell me where to get the variety music? I can't find anywhere doing internet searches “Carpathian – Spicy, flavorful rocambole garlic variety, this heirloom hails from the Carpathian Mountain region of Poland”

I would google the term "Allium" and see if there are any photos to compare to what was growing in your son's garden.

It had a long, thick stalk and long slender leaves. The top didn't have the usual cluster of hard seeds about the size of a small ping pong ball the way mine do, but a baseball sized cluster of small sage-green nubbins at the end of many slender stalks. Each "seed" had a delicious mild, chive or oniony aroma. When we pulled out the garlic it was bigger than a baseball and pure white with just 4 or 5 big, yellow cloves. Is this an elephant garlic? Thanks for any info you might have on this mystereous beauty. I wonder if you can help me identify a huge garlic that came up in my son’s flower garden.
