Alexanders flowering Christmas Eve #Anglesey for #wildflowerhour
A native herb of Macedonia, brought to the UK by the Romans. The whole plant is edible but replaced in modern cuisine by celery. Supposed to taste like myrrh, whatever myrrh tastes like 🤔 @AngleseyFlora

On Tuesday, in 42 mph winds, we finally, after 2 years of work, brought 5 plants of Allium ampeloprasum var. ampeloprasum (a #RedList species in Wales) into cultivation, as an insurance for Anglesey's plants of the species - in association with @NatResWales & @AngleseyFlora.
ALT Pinky - purple, round, heads of the wild leek each head contains a hundred or so small tissue papery flowers and sits on top of a stem up to 2 meters tall.
ALT South stacks white lighthouse being battered by white crashing waves and wind of over 40 miles per hour. beautiful light shining on the grey ocean
ALT A large garlic bulb, the bulb of the wild leek, being held in a male hand with a orange sleeve and green grass in the background
ALT Robbie blackhall-Miles, wearing a orange coat and grey hat, standing proudly holding the tall stem and bulb of a wild leek next to a green grass road verge with yellow flowers and a hedge full of wild leeks
