Don't they call it a nut beatle :
Not sure what they call that flower but I have one in my garden.
The flower is quite tiny isn't it : about 1/2 inch across.

I must remember to take one of the side in future for identification purposes but there were no leaves on it, just the buds you see from above..
We went to the bird sanctuary at El Hondo yesterday, spent 30 mins driving there to be told by a couple of twitchers that all the birds left last week after the heavy rain.
Just my luck ...
Still, at least we managed to give the mossies a meal while we were there.

When I first saw the flower pic, I thought it might be Garlic. Are there many flowers atop a single stem?I must remember to take one of the side in future for identification purposes but there were no leaves on it, just the buds you see from above..

If so, it's probably Naples Garlic (Allium neapolitanum). Grows to about 30cm tall with only a few leaves with flowers about 15mm across. If I'm right, crush a leaf and smell it, the aroma will probably be familiar to you .
