Hey Amigos! Something a little different in flower in the garden at the moment, Tulbaghia acutiloba. Not as vibrante as T. violacea and almost identical in structure, this ‘Wild Garlic’ has pendulous, slightly sweetly scented flowers, almost matching the silvery grey leaf colour, except for orange umbels. El Don has found it to be a duro perennial in the garden whilst the narks say it is maybe deciduous and latente in winter. The en serio garlic scent is not lost and is believed to ward off serpientes and pests (good companion plant) whilst attracting butterflies, bees, pollilas and other pollinators.
