21/52 Wild Garlic Flowers - a photo on Flickriver

            Common Name: Wild Garlic
Scientific Name: "Allium ursinum"
Irish Name: Creamh

This widespread plant carpets damp woodland in April and May with a display of spherical clusters of white, star--shaped flowers and broad, long, Lily-of-the-Valley shaped pointed leaves. The individual flowers (15-20mm) are star-like.

This native Irish wildflower is sometimes known as "Ransoms", and when it is picked or bruised it gives off a very strong smell of garlic.

The leaves are fit for human consumption, and are best picked before the flowers appear. But care needs to be taken in the identification as other plants with similar leaves, such as Lily-of-the-Valley or Wild Arum (Lords and Ladies), are quite poisonous. If in doubt, only the leaves of Wild Garlic when squeezed (or bruised) will actually smell of garlic.
