Wild Chives


I don't come across Wild Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) very often, but we found this one on a walk in Edworthy Park (Lawrey Gardens end) a couple of evenings ago. It is a native, common wildflower. Blooms July-August in moist meadows.
"Although the leaves and bulbs were used to flavour food, they were also used to treat colds and coughs by Native peoples. The juice was boiled to make a thick syrup, or the bulbs were sliced and placed in sugar. The resulting liquids were used as cough syrup." From "Plants of Alberta" by Royer and Dickinson.
