Texas Wildflowers in the Springtime FALSE GARLIC

False Garlic
Nothoscordum bivalve
Lily family
also called Crow Poison

These little beauties get overlooked when the fields are full of bluebonnets and Texas paintbrushes. False Garlic may stand anywhere from 6 to 21 inches tall, but the blooms are only about an inch across. 
Here is a bloom growing next to the star of the Texas wildflowers, the bluebonnet. You can see why it might be overlooked.
