Wild garlic

Our country lanes are full of the scent of wild garlic.
On the way back from my facial the other day I stopped & had to take a photo of this very small glimpse of these lovely flowers.

Three good things:
1. I called in at the post office to post an overseas card but the post mistress said could I come back in ten minutes? I noticed my friend’s car was in her drive so popped over the road to fill the time in.
She had visitors for lunch & I emerged half an hour later after having a glass of wine & a large bowl of sherry trifle & strawberries!
2. The fencer man is busy.
3. A helping of fresh dug up new potatoes from my sister in law.

A lovely find and capture

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely capture! I bet the smell was quite strong!

[Sarah Bremner]

Lovely! We have some clumps in our garden which I noticed today, not quite as advanced as these but will be ready for pesto making soon.

They look beautiful.. we get wild onion growing on our roadsides but they don't look as attractive as these..
Wine and trifle sounds better than hanging around at the post office..

Your three things sound great! Love the wild garlic too - apparently it's quite the thing to cook with now - you can make wild garlic butter

[Boxplayer]

One of my favourite spring sights and smells. Love your cheeky wine and trifle stop.

@busylady oh yes it's lovely to just cooked up like spinach or added to things, pasta anything really.

[Pat Knowles]

@boxplayer really, I must stop & pick some next time! The whole plant or just the flower?

[Boxplayer]

@happypat you can eat all of it, flowers and leaves. But advised to gather carefully so as not to pick up leaves from other less edible plants see https://www.wildfooduk.com/edible-wild-plants/wild-garlic-2/

@boxplayer 👍🏻

It looks gorgeous, I didn't know wild garlic was edible.

Beautiful shot

Those are well planted for a wonderful scene. They probably multiply all by themselves. You are so fortunate with todays good things - friends being so generous, a gift of new potatoes!

[KWind]

Lovely shot!

[GaryW]

That is a mass planting!

[Issi Bannerman]

Wow ... it's that time of year, and I'd forgotten. I really should take time and go gathering some - I know a perfect spot up the Girnock river. Beautiful capture.

[Dione Giorgio]

What a great show they make!
