Often found in abundance, Ramsons or Wild Garlic (Allium ursinum) is a lovely spring flower and great wild food source. Known to have been utilized since the Mesolithic, all parts of wild garlic are edible, leaf, flower and bulb; used as flavouring in soups or as salad leaf or as a pot herb. Make sure you know what you're picking though, as Ramsons can be mistaken for Lily of the Valley; if you crush a leaf it should release a garlic aroma.
