@donnapomeroy thank you so much for the info! I love edible plants!
Allium triquetrum (also known as three-cornered leek, angled onion, onion weed, three-cornered garlic, and triangular stalked garlic) is a Mediterranean plant, but can also be found along the coasts of Oregon and California. Many parts of the plant are edible and taste somewhat like garlic or onion. The plant spreads rapidly and is locally common/invasive, particularly in disturbed areas.
