A true jungle of Allium ursinum, known as wild garlic, ramsons, cowleekes, cows's leek, cowleek, buckrams, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek, Eurasian wild garlic, onion grass, or bear's garlic.
Silhouette of a "Spock hand" aka the Vulcan salute cast by yours truly over a thick undergrowth of bear leek in the middle of a predominately deciduous forest.
From the earth to the fields of bear leek. For miles and miles. To live long and prosper! 🖖

![A white wild garlic (Allium ursinum) pseudo umbel, with numerous individual flowers, rests on a small, inverted steel garden shovel. A white-painted wall forms the background.
Wikipedia says (translation via Google translate): "The hermaphroditic flowers are radially symmetrical and trimerous. The pure white perianth consists of six linear-lanceolate tepals, 8 to 10 millimeters long, which can be pointed or obtuse and stand erect. The subulate [white-beige] stamens are about half as long as the tepals and fused at the base. The [green] style terminates in a simple stigma. The fruit stalks are slightly swollen directly below the perianth, and the [green] ovary is deeply three-grooved."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:omyr27fmzj3phbagch4sqyub/bafkreielg2cjmlh3stj6cpnhpt35nh6rqepvb2yo7tw6o4e3wybhsbr53y)
