Rosy Garlic

Google lens tells me this pretty flower, which is dotted around several local verges and hedgerows this year, is Rosy Garlic, Allium Roseum. It's probably not technically a wild flower, as it's a garden escapee native to the Mediterraneum, but it's living wild and thriving here in the Kent Downs and looks very pretty among the brambles.  It's edible too, though I haven't tried it. 

Just before seven I took the roundabout route to the bottom of Vicarage Lane, where I liked the light through the bird (or perhaps hairy) vetch and was surprised to see how much the meadow has changed colour since I walked up the field path and photographed its narrow route just a week ago.
