How about Allium cernuum 'Nodding Onion'?

One I know that looks like this is A. carinatum subsp. pulchellum.

Could be "fall chives". (A. thunbergii 'ozawa'). They do have nodding heads which are looser than the spring chive but are a deeper color than the Nodding Onion which is soft lavender-pink. They bloom in fall instead of spring like common chives.
