Allium ampeloprasum is a wild plant with a tall flowering stem (40-180cm)
which terminates in an umbel (5-9 cm in diameter) consisting of hundreds of pinkish flowers.
It blooms from May to summer in roadsides, abandoned fields, and degraded terrain
in a plethora of countries. Very common in Greece.
It is considered the ancestor of the cultivated leek.
In the picture above
the spathe on the right is about to unfold and reveal an umbel.
