Society garlic
Plants within genus Tulbaghia are tough South African plants from the Amaryllidaceae family, clump-forming with narrow leaves and tall flower stalks holding umbels of pretty, star-shaped flowers from late spring until autumn.
If one crushes the foliage, a distinct garlic smell is released, hence the common name. Indeed, even lightly brushing past can release the smell.

Tulbaghia (wild garlic or society garlic) is a genus of monocotyledonous herbaceous perennial bulbs native to Africa, belonging to the Amaryllis family.
