Allium triquetrum

Three cornered leek(english)
Lagrimas de la virgen(spanish)
This little flower is a mediterranean plant,probably introduced here.It normally starts growing in februari and start giving flowers in april,here on the coast it is already flowering.I found this one close to houses.I found out it has uses for eating,the bulb,as it is an allium,after the leaves dry out,the leaves and stem to even the flowers.Medical uses as far as it has healthy additions,like it reduces colesterol,it helps the digestive system.From Galicia
