It is an allium. Some, but not all, can be invasive but if you only have the one then I would leave it for now. In a few years time you can remove it/them if it looks like a problem.

I think its rather pretty, thanks BB, have a few here and there just checked the whole garden. Not too many though

very nice be good near ya pond hint hint lol .

ok thats plant no 33! lol

lol xx

Warning from Dorjac. Don't be deceived by this innocent looking flower. In my garden they wrecked a large part of one of my borders. Ever seen the Disney film the sorcerers apprentice? All the brooms split up and start marching!!!!!!!! Dig it up search, search the soil and do not let it seed. It offsets minute bulbs too.......it can be a total pest.

lol but surley not so much of a concern for a nature area surley dorjac.

Depends on what you want out of a nature area. I thought this was a veggie plot, and do not invite stinking willie to grow on that. By the side of a stream in the wild .......OK. As Bulbaholic told me when I did my blog about this. It grows wild by a burn near him. A gardener could carry the minute bulblets in grooves on shoes and take then to a part of the garden that is not wild.

ow i see i was kind of asking a question so thanx for that dorjac xx .

It is growing in my veg patch Dorjac, Nosey was saying it would look nice in my wildlife area. Seen lots of very white bulbs. I'll take care thanks for the tip and yes I saw the film!!!

Dorjac if I collect what I can find and put them all in a pot and sink it in my wildlife area do you think that will contain them?

The trouble is Great, if it is stinking willie, it smells of onions. It seeds from those white flowers and has offsets of the tiniest bulbs you have ever seen. Its worst habit is...... it shows very early very early in the leafing cycle, the leaves get long and strappy, and flop all over other plants and smothers them. Then it waits until bluebells,,chionodoxa and epheion are on the way out,makes pointy little buds and pops up here and there with the white flowers. You hardly associate it with the nasty floppy leaves. It loves popping up in the middle of shrubs. Sneaky plant.

The plant I would call 'stinking willie' only has one or two flowers per head.

When it was growing I thought it was an onion as it looks the same leaves. It smells like an onion. Dont much like the name stinking willie!!! ha ha

i like the smell of onion to

Hi Nosey Ive sent you a pm

thanx great xx
