The flowers are rather nondescript but purplish. Or perhaps native wild onion (Allium canadense) which has flat leaves, with white flowers. But if they are so prolific it's probably the field garlic.<br /><br />Ignore the skinniest ones and look for nice tall fat leaves, and pull those plants for pickling and eating. They are very good.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-80200861869772798472014-03-16T10:13:19.755-04:002014-03-16T10:13:19.755-04:00Marie, are you literally talking about the little ...Marie, are you literally talking about the little garlic bulbs with the small (but pretty) white and/or blue flowers? The ones I dig up by the 1000's and throw away? I can pickle those?<br /><br />At one time in my life, i thought they were beautiful ... and they naturalize so nicely! cultivated them for an entire year ... and then fought them for 15 more. I'll go look in the book. webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.com
