Speak about beheading! Here in my garden I struggle with Nothoscordum bivalve, false garlic/crow poison. Its leaves do not smell of onions and the white flowers have a honeyed fragrance. They have to be beheaded every time a person passes by (me), or seeds will fall into pots of rain lilies or Cooperia especially, where the plants are able to mimic their hosts. After digging the plants, the tiny "rice bulbs" are revealed, and if even one falls away into the soil again, it all starts all over again.

He transplanted it to his yard, where in damp shade it is dueling for space with creeping buttercup (another introduced invasive species), and is now in bloom. Pre-photos, I had asked him to take measurements, thinking I would need to refer to keys to identify it. But no, thanks to the PBS photos, I was able to scroll right to it in the Allium section. > > This is a thank you to everyone who has sent in photos and posted information on PBS’s site.
