Wild garlic
At this time of year, many of our woodlands are full of ramsons, also known as wild garlic. The luxuriant leaves grow like carpets and fill the air with a strong scent of garlic even before the lovely white flowers come out. Wild garlic is edible and tastes lovely in salads or pesto.

Great picture, and you've set my taste buds a-tingling.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a lovely smell. Alas, not one I would recognise myself. Garlic for cooking, yes, I know that one and I love that smell, too, especially on the pan with onions and peppers. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeauitful photos.
