Hello ramps officionados,
Jim, Allium tricoccum is found throughout Missouri, and much of eastern
North America, some links provided. I just posted a photo on the NARGS
Forum showing a few variegated plants that Darrell Probst found in
Massachusetts, take a look at the following link (click on thumbnail

Dear Friends,
I just learned that Allium tricoccum , AKA 'wild leek' AKA 'Ramps' is
native to my state of MO, but patchy and scattered through the state.
Just not right in my part so I have never had the joy of a ramps
eating binge.
Anyone in E. US a fan of this Allium? Is it worth trying to
cultivate as an edible?
