I came across about ten plants of Crow garlic (Allium vineale), also known as Wild onion growing on the roadside at the bottom of the bank below High house wood. It is a common plant in Southern England but it is thinly distributed in Northumberland. Most of the records come from the north of the county (VC68) chiefly along the coastal strip but only a handful from VC67 but Swan's Flora of Northumberland records them from the Morpeth area. It is the first time I have seen this plant.

Cheers Brian. Swan's is a bit out of date now but it is still an essential reference.
