I believe this is a wild leek. I have
them growing in my yard. I transplanted them here from some
property I owned in Montclam county.
Wild leeks (Allium tricoccum), also known as ramps, are a
member of the onion family (Alliaceae). Both the white root
and the broad green leaves are edible. They are found from the
U.S. state of South Carolina to Canada and are especially
popular in the US state of West Virginia when they emerge in
the springtime. A common description of the flavor is like a
combination of onions and strong garlic.
