Allium/leucojum

Allium triquestrum and leucojum aestivum are definitely not the same plant.  Leucojum is a very desirable plant, if you are lucky, it will form a clump much as a happy daffodil will.  It is a bulb, does not have an onion smell and very different in real life.  I'm sure a line drawing could look quite similar, at a casual glance they look similar.  I grow both in my garden,  Allium triquestrum will take over your garden, it is not a bulb. I do know people who cook with the allium triquestrum. The leaves of the two are very different and so are the flowers and the fragrance or odor.
