Couldn't they have got a better name?

[dewmuw]

Probably named after the guy who found them:

Don't you know? :confused:

Would have helped if I'd included that titbit - they are called Ramsons. :rolleyes:

They are indeed wild, I found this growing at the side of a lane in the hedgerow.

thanks Damian


:cool:
beautiful wild things


reading up about it tonight the young leaves are edible and make a tasty (if pungent) peanut butter sandwich
now you will be able to keep Martin and Rósin very happy:lol:

it's of the Lily family


the good news is the name is ancient from an old english name Hramsa
and appears as a prefix in the name of several towns and villages.
for example Ramsey in Essex, Huntingdonshire (I think Don's wife Leela has a daughter living there :confused: and notice Don's name is included in the name :) )
and the Isle of Man

it is widespread and often abundant in damp woods, hedge- banks and shady streamsides, especially on lime-rich soils throughout Britain,
local in north eastern Scotland

very scattered in Ireland
(just like it's people)

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:




stepping on them in the woods releases an over powering smell of garlic


:eek: :eek:
stand well back from Una if you have that sandwich tonight Damian


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow Marie your full of good information.

I had looked them up in my wild flower book, but yours seems to have much more information than mine.

I think I'll cut and paste your information and add it to my pbase site! :D

it's thanks to you .
you gave me the name of the wild beauty.
I have three wild flower books and two of them just gave the basics
but the big big one gave lots more information
:D

Wonderful shot Damian. And wonderful information Marie. I don't think we have anything like that on this side of the pond. I'll have to look in some of my books.

Ramsons? Sounds like a warriors name. ~~~ I am Ramson bow down to me or die!

Ah who knows.
