little white flowers.

There are alot of these small white flowers on the roadsides near me, not sure what they are called (not snowdrops) they tend to appear each year and it seems like they must like very salty ground, the areas they grow seem to be where the grass and other vegitation is killed off, not just from vehicles, but from the salt spreading from the winter road gritting, or the spray / splash from vehicles when the salty roads are wet. Maybe they are more often found in coastal areas. Just my thoughts

Spot on Andy. Scurvy Grass. The road salting is what helps 'em grow.

It's the season to pick wild garlic (which look similar). Every year I pop some garlic flowers in some greek olive oil and use it with bread after a few weeks.

Tons of it alongside the river near us. I smelt it as I slid in to the river yesterday while retrieving my grandsons trainer!
