Plant: Society garlic...............

Society garlic (Tulbaghia violacea), a common street landscaping plant......
Going by its ubiquity, it requires little water.........
Blooms profusely...purple flowers..
Perhaps, the best thing about it is, the smell, which repels noxious pests, including mosquitoes....
For human senses, the fragrance is that pleasant, but if a plant can substitute a chemical insecticide, that's great..

A meadow blanketed in these flowers in late August.....
