Maltese Wild Leek - Kurrat Malti - Allium Melitense

Bulbous perennial. This species is an endemic plant, but some argue that this is just a small variant (=dwarf) of the variable and closely related species - Allium commutatum.
Allium = Garlic (Latin)

Linny the flower does not smell like garlic - maybe the roots, but I never uprooted one - it would be a pitty:))
I think that it just comes from the same family or something like that.
