    Been busy with the back garden over the past few days and hadn't noticed this weed growing in the front border intertwining with my red robin bush. Very pretty so hesitant to pull it out, think I will let it be for a few days.


  • The weed is garlic mustard, a larval foodplant of the Orange Tip butterfly. I have some which I am tolerating for that reason.

    @Elfer The weed is hedge garlic. Edible and can be added to salads. https://www.wildfooduk.com/edible-wild-plants/hedge-garlic/

    @Alan Clark2 in Liverpool & @Slum Mrs Elfer chopped it before I had a chance to share my fondness, I hope another one turns up 😔
