Bruce, interesting information and a nice portrait picture of
Allium ursinum.
I do not only like your picture but the plant itself as well. However, "Stinking nanny" or "stinkbomb" do not sound very appetizing to me.

You must know that not only bears eat it, man, at least over here, eats it too! Some collect it in the forests for cooking, add it to bread, gratins, omelettes etc. It´s really tasty. Rick Stein, if he hasn´t already, should give it a try!
"Bärlauch", this is its common name in German what means bear´s leek. (The common leek,
A. porrum, is placed in the same genus, as is garlic,
A. sativum). Its usage in cookery has become quite fashionable in the recent years, and nowadays
A. ursinum is farmed commercially. Over here one can buy it at the grocer´s or even in supermarkets. You can also get cheese with "Bärlauch" in it.
It so happended that I have gathered
A. ursinum once myself and know quite good places where it grows in a region in the very North of Germany. This region is called- and therefore I am telling you this - Anglia or "Angeln" in German. It´s part of the former territory, where the Angles lived before most of them emigrated to the British Isles in the 5th-6th century AD. As you surely know England is named thereafter, and East Anglia of course. And when I visited this "original" continental Anglia for the first time the landscape with its hills and hedgerows quite reminded me of some nice scenery I had encountered in the English Midlands before!
Now, lo and behold, what associations your "Stinking Nanny" has provoked in me.

Thanks for that!:D
Bye for now,
Betty
