WILD GARLIC

Bear garlic, ramsom, buckram, broadleaved garlic, Allium ursinum  is so called as brown bears go crazy for the stuff.  They are an indicator of ancient woodland and a companion to bluebells.  Every year, people poison themselves by mistaking Lily of the Valley for ramsoms, but as I have never seen Lily of the Valley growing wild in woodland and the garlic smell is unmistakeable, I wonder why?

The Professor and I had a grand Date Day at Culzean in outstanding weather.  Tomorrow I see the consultant again and hope to be released from my driving ban.
