Canada onion

Allium canadense, commonly known as wild onion, wild garlic or meadow garlic, is a perennial bulbous herb of the family Amaryllidaceae, native to a broad swath of eastern and central North America from southern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, where it grows in moist meadows, prairies, open woods, road verges and stream banks. The plant arises from a globose to ovoid bulb 1–2 cm across, clothed in a fibrous-reticulate brown tunic. Several flat, linear, grass-like leaves, 15–40 cm long and 2–6 mm wide, with a strong onion fragrance, emerge in spring. The smooth, terete scape grows 20–60 cm tall and bears a terminal umbel that is highly distinctive: it typically produces a mixture of bulbils (small bulbs that replace some or all of the flowers) and pink, white or pale lavender, bell-shaped flowers about 6–10 mm long with six tepals; some umbels consist entirely of bulbils. Flowering occurs from May to July. The fruit, when produced, is a three-lobed capsule with small black seeds.
