this is 
allium ampeloprasum of the family 
liliaceae:

whose flower is arranged as a simple umbel.  this particular example was captured at Chapel Hill in south Hinds county on May 20th 2007.  there was a faint smell of garlic/onion in the air, as i moved about the smell intensified and was most pleasing.  the plant is suffuse with the aroma and the slightest bruise will bring the luscious odor forth.
