Allium sp. . . .
Several local species of onions,
.. sometimes called chives, leeks or ramps,
..... some small with white blooms,
...... others larger with showy purple blooms.
I find the blooms a welcome addition
.. to salads for color as well as flavor
..... and a treat to simply browse.
....... Bulbs are often too strong for civilised palates.
