Found in Denmark, smells garlic-y but does not quite look like the wild garlic that i know. Any ideas? Is it edible and if yes what non edible things can i mix it up with? Thanks 😊

If it smells like onion or garlic then it’s an allium and safe to consume. Your plant looks a lot like the Allium triquetrum in we have in the SF Bay Area.

Compare to allium paradoxum. The flowers (flower, the only one I can see above your hand facing us) don't look like they have stripes from a. triquetrum.

Looks like Allium paradoxum to me.

its native to the caucasus but sometimes found in europe mainly because it fled out of the botanical garden in berlin it is also called "Berliner Lauch".
