Elephant Garlic Flower in the Garden

Elephant Garlic while not a true garlic, its related to the Leek. Has a large bulb and cloves that do have a garlic flavour,  but much milder in flavour than true garlic. Elephant Garlic grows throughout Australia and will last up to 12 months in storage like normal garlic. Elephant Garlic usually has only 5-6 huge cloves. Harvest when the flower has died back to 6 green leaves.
