3 sided leek

The 3 Sided Leek (Allium triquetrum) are coming out. This locally common wild flower is easy to recognize by its flower and distinctive 3 sided stem, and tends to grow in swathes. All parts of the plant, from the bulb to the flowers, are edible fresh or can be cooked, and be used in similar ways and in the same recipes as Ramsons, although not as strongly flavoured.
