Wild Garlic
The scientific name of the wild garlic is Tulbaghia violacea. The plant has beautiful purple / pink flowers, and grows to approximately 0.5 m tall. The name comes from the strong garlic smell that is given when the leaves are bruised. The plant can tolerate droughts and grows easily and have beautiful flowers.
The plant's flowers and leaves can be used in salads. The crushed leaves can be used to cure sinus headaches, colds and coughs. The smell of the leaves repels mosquitoes, when crushed on the skin. The plant also repels moles and snakes from the garden.
I have never used the plants for all the above uses (Perhaps I should try it), I just love the color it gives to the garden.
All photos above were taken by myself, with my iPhone.
