Allium ursinum
Large leaved perennial, bearing flowers in umbel of 10 to 20 small, white and star-like shaped, six-petaled flowers. Also known as wild or wood garlic. Garlic scented.
Grows deep in shade on forest floor (found in broadleaved forest) on banks of streams or rivers.
All parts of this plant are edible: leaves, stems, bulbs and flowers; and there is a wide variety of recipes for all kinds of dishes - salads, sauces, roasts, stews, soups... we often use it instead of pesto with pasta or salads; or instead of fresh basil leaf... Also excellent in melted butter for grilled meat seasoning...
