I couldn't smell the wild garlic, Amelia. It was the backlighting that caught my eye. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe

There is a lot of it about at the moment Joe. This is a beautifully presented macro. It has a lovely flower and I don't mind the smell, as long as I don't live next door to it! Cheers, Rosa.

There are people here who gather the leaves for their salads. I haven't tasted the leaves. Thanks for your very kind comment, Rosa. Cheers, Joe
