Field Garlic (Allium oleraceum)

Thin hollow leaves, which are not round as in chives, but flattened.
The flower stalk grows in the middle of the leaves and at the top is a little cluster of purple and green bulbils with some flowers between them. The bulbils are oblong and pointed (Allium scorodoprasum and Allium vineale have round bulbils). Around the cluster of bulbils and flowers there are two leaves with long points as a spathe/bract/sheath (Allium vineale has only one leaf with a short point). The taste is rather sharp. If used as food, it is probably best to harvest the tender leaves early in spring, but you will not get a large harvest and it's best not to harvest wild plants. You can however try growing field garlic in your garden by planting some bulbils that you take from wild plants.
