I think that we need a bit more information :-) Regards, Nick Maclaren. Looks like a white bluebell and smells strongly when crushed. Allium triquetum I think. As I said, I'm working from memory here. Very frustrating :-) Aka Ransoms or wild garlic. Dig it up or spray it seems to be the only way. I rather like it so when I had it in a previous garden, I always kept some of it. But it absolutely fills the verges of some of the lanes round here. Thanks for the positive ID. If I thought it would behave itself in a lawn, I might leave it alone, but I'm beginning to wonder if the antiseptic properties might actually deter other plants. It certainly looks that way Allium triquetum and Ramsoms (Allium ursinum) are not the same thing. Neither looks like a bluebell to my eyes, but (pictures of) Allium triquetum looks closer. (I've only seem the latter in the phloem.) -- Stewart Robert Hinsley http://florulaprima.blogspot.com |
