I'm looking after a client's Welsh Onions (Allium fistulosum). They are neither Welsh nor onions, being more like chives. In the same way Chinese Cedar (Toons sinensis) is neither Chinese nor a cedar.

Scarlet Hawthorn (Crataegus ellwangeriana) in blossom. Apple-ish haws, both are members of the rose family.

Snowbell Tree (Halesia carolina). Where do they get these names from? Fruit tastes cucumberyish

Mashua (Tropaleum tuberosum) growing on the compost heap *in December*. Frost sensitive leaves, related to Nasturtium. Edible tubers but haven't figured out how to make them acceptably edible in the kitchen! Beautiful flowers and foliage.
