Yes, thanks. I know Allium, I grow them at my house and this was not that. I can see how it looks like it from the picture. There's only one species of Allium (as far I can see) that occurs in Brazil and it doesn't look like this. Back to the drawing board!

It looks like it might be an allium after it has bloomed. Allium is a purple blooming bulb in the onion family. Google 'allium after blooming' and take a look at those images.
