Is this an ironic name or not? What makes one less welcome in society than a garlic breath?

I’m hearing this name for the first time. Is it real garlic or a cousin ?

This is used widely for roadside plantings and parkway medians — I have to admit that I’ve never looked closely at the flower itself! How pretty!

Janet, I looked it up. This is what it said: The rhizomes and leaves are edible and can be used in dishes the same way that garlic or garlic chives are used. Flowers are also edible and can be used as a delicate garnish.

I didn’t realize that before.. I’ll have to check.
It would be handy to clip the “leaves” for a garnish. Have never checked the roots…

How interesting — I guess I’d better plant some, as somehow I don’t think the city would appreciate my digging up even one rhizome just to taste it!
