Lily of the Valley or Wild Garlic? How to tell the difference…

[@silviamagda]

I love lily of the valley's smell. ❤

[@manundermoonlight9106]

Great information, thankyou. I type this after preparing some fresh garlic for dinner and I can smell the garlic as I watch this ❤😂

The best informative video on these two plants on KZbin and for those starting to forage could easily get caught out.

Great video ❤ Both beautiful in their own way too😊 🌱

Been collecting a bit of wild garlic recently. There's sections near me where there are tonnes of them and also the garlic mustard.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I think I have garlic mustard growing in my front garden.

Thank you so much! Lily of the valley is super common here in Finland, and we learn not to touch it as children already. I've been wanting to get into foraging and know we also have wild garlic somewhere near where I live, but I've been too unsure to go looking. This was very concise and simple!

Found my first wild garlic patch this year and have been cooking the buds into pasta :) Thanks for the videos!

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I saw swaves of wild garlic at Battle Abbey at the weekend, it was in full bloom.

The is very helpful as always! I've been wanting to forage wild garlic (found a few lovely recipes), thanks for this.

I have a whole flower bed of wild garlic in my garden which is flowering now, I can smell from my house, Delicious plant.

[@RuachEden]

The smell of wild garlic is unmistakeable

[@antaress8128]

What if you have Covid? You can't smell shit.

[@mattgoodchild8215]

Very informative I love Lilly of the valley such a lovely scent Superb 👍🏼

[@melissalambert7615]

Interesting. Wild garlic in my area is not broad leafed. I do have Lily of the Valley. I grow it specifically because it is my birth flower, May. Love the scent. Hello from sunny Oregon, US.

[@dasja9966]

Common names can be used for different plants in different countries or even villages. The wild garlic in this video is Allium ursinum, native to Europe. Wild garlic in Oregon is probably Allium vineale, a highly invasive species from Europe. Best to remove as much as you can. Do check first if it isn't a native species though, wild garlic is a common name used for many alliums with a garlicy taste.

Very helpful - thanks

TY.

[@Nathanhiggerz]

Can you eat ransons flowers and flowers stem?

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yep the whole wild garlic/ Ramsons plant is edible

[@Nathanhiggerz]

@UKWILDCRAFTS a video idea could be making vinegars from foraged plants. I've been dehydrating different things then making random vinegars. Makes great flavouring to foods

I heard to be careful that if you pick wild garlic and then touch Lily of the Valley you may transfer the scent on your hands from one to the other, and then mistakenly identify the latter as the former.
