I've not cut my grass for a few weeks now Blush and noticed these plants growing, they seem to have a long stem with a ring of red berries on top and white flowers coming out from inbetween the berries.
Can anybody identify it for me please?

It looks like a wild garlic - there are several species. If it has broad leaves it is Ramsons, with narrower leaves it could be Crow garlic. Crush the leaves and they should smell of onions.

I did a reverse Google search, Google says it is sweet William. Is it bollocks, Google.

I'll dig out my flower book this evening! (overly excited)

Crow garlic, it spreads through the bulbs on top

Thanks for the replies, I've brought one in to take pictures of the top and bottom of one (if that helps identify it more easily)

Looks like Rosy Garlic.

BlahWitch that really made me giggle, thankfully I've not seen any meteor showers so I think I'm safe!
I think you may have solved my mystery Colin, the pictures I've googled of Rosy Garlic look very much like what's in my garden.
Thank you all for helping meCake and Wine for all Grin
