I love these tiny little flowers often growing under trees. Wild garlic!

Is any part of the wild garlic edible?

Yes Robert, wild garlic is entirely edible, though I grow it in my garden because, as Louise said, it is a very pretty plant. 😊

Do you eat the leaves, flowers or is there a bulb like normal garlic?

All parts of the plant are edible, including the flowers, it can be used in salads, or cooked for soups etc. Though the bulb is also edible, it is very small & once used, you've lost the plant...obviously, :lol:
Most people just harvest the leaves, flowers & stems, give it a try, you might like it. 😊

Thanks for that. I think I've just found the first plant to add to my 'soon to be' Cyprus garden.

I wish you all the best for your move to Cyprus, if you intend on planting it in your garden, be aware that it can have quite a pungent garlic smell...so don't plant it near your patio/ seating areas, unless you like that smell of course :lol:

Many thanks for the wishes Cogs. I'll put it with all the other must have herbs which given I don't yet have a Cyprus home is but a dream at this point... :D
