Ramsons


The bluebells are past their best, as are the white-flowered ramsons that often accompany them. When I was young the Yorkshire Dales name for this plant was "stinking onions". Over the years I have increasingly heard them referred to as "wild garlic", and there are those who advocate picking them and using them in cooking, perhaps encouraged by this less derogatory name.
