Few-flowered leek, Kelvin Walkway, Glasgow

Glasgow - Kelvin Walkway, Forth and Clyde Canal, Dawsholm and Garscube
Few-flowered leek (Allium paradoxum) an invasive non-native species (INNS) grows along the Kelvin Walkway in Glasgow. It has a triangular stem, and smells like garlic when touched. Its leaves are a bit thinner than bluebell leaves, with which it could be confused before flowering. It forms very dense carpets on deciduous woodland floor and beside rivers, and crowds out native species such as Primroses which live in a similar habitat.

Few-flowered leek (Allium paradoxum) an invasive non-native species (INNS) grows along the Kelvin Walkway in Glasgow. It has a triangular stem, and smells like garlic when touched. Its leaves are a bit thinner than bluebell leaves, with which it could be confused before flowering. It has small bulbils in the angle between a leaf and stem, or in place of flowers, which allow it to be spread by grazing animals. Unlike its close relative the three-cornered garlic or three-cornered leek, it does not have a green stripe down the middle of its white petals. As its name suggests, it also has few flowers, whereas the 3-cornered leek has many.

Winter aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) exploits gaps in the canopy, early in the year, before trees shade out the sun with their leaves. It is often seen growing in amongst Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) as in this picture, which was taken at the Bridge of Dun, Montrose Basin.
