| | | Could this be Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata)? No flowers on this, but was trying to ID from the leaves and I've come up with Garlic Mustard ( Alliaria petiolata) as an option.
They are coming up in the garden and I've also seen thick clumps around the edges of the woods. (I think they are the same thing...)
Anyone got any other suggestions? |

| | | Re: Could this be Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata)? This looks more like lesser celandine leaves. Garlic has leaves with serrated edges and are petiolate: no stalks from stem.Pinch it and it smells!! |

| | | Re: Could this be Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata)? Yes Garlic Mustard, coming through now, as you say by wood edges etc - jack by the hedge another of its names.
Good food plant for orange tips.

Pick a leaf, crush it in your hand and smell it. That's right - garlic!
