A green bottle fly feeds on a Society Garlic flower at Fort Maurepas Park, July 1, 2021, in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Society garlic (Tulbaghia violacea) is indigenous to southern Africa and produces fragrant lilac flowers from midsummer to autumn. The leaves are sometimes eaten as a substitute for chives or garlic. It is also used in herbal remedies as an antifungal agent. Society garlic is often used in landscaping due to its hardiness and long-lasting blooms. It has a faint garlic or onion scent.
