Leek are the first green plants to carpet the forest, appearing in wide patches in the deciduous forest near the Preservation Park entrance, looking almost fluorescent green when they first grow.
Leek are one of the most unusual spring wildflowers, in that the flower itself doesn't appear until fall, long after the leaves have died and disappeared. Some people gather leek to eat, like mild onions, but I think this is inappropriate in an urban, heavily used park like this. If many people do that the leek will disappear!
