Un-like Bluebellhas flowers on longer stalks. Flowers white and with splashes of green as do Snowdrops, but as narrow stripes on the inside of the trumpet-like flowers rather than as green chevrons on the outside of Snowdrops. |

| Six petals (actually tepals), flared trumpet-like, with a narrow green stripe down the centre on the inside of the petal, stopping short of the pointed tip. Six stamens inside with light-yellow anthers. |

| Leaves have a semi-circular indentation running along the centre of the leaf, like a grove for a marble. Leaves sharply keeled for rigidity, but curly near the top. |

Some similarities to :
Slight resemblance to : many other
No relation to : Inhabits dampish places where it is warmer. Considered a problem plant in some areas where it spreads un-controllably. Occupies mainly southern parts of the UK, mainly within 50 miles of the sea, with far fewer inland locations. The proximity of the sea keeps it warmer in winter and more able to propagate. The flowers are all initially en-wrapped within two white papery bracts, which open to reveal between three and 15 drooping trumpet-shaped flowers on stalks that are longer than are the flowers. Like all alliums, grows from a bulb. The fruit is green, between 4mm and 6mm across and globular. The seeds within are black, oblong and between 2mm - 3mm long. When damaged, smells of garlic. Both leaves and bulbs can be eaten, although they are moderately poisonous if eaten to excess, especially to dogs.
