Is that ^^ Taylor Ham? I don't eat meat but as a NJer, I'm fascinated by it -- hopefully they'll come up with a faux version for non-carnivores! Here's the alleged story.

Love me some pork roll - I’m in PA! But trying to cut down on processed foods so go with Canadian bacon, although probably not much better for you. Reserve the pork roll for camping breakfast sammy’s!

I was thinking that they probably go to seed but wow they take a long time to mature.

So it looks like what @jasonwx saw in Ireland was Ramsons.I was thinking that they probably go to seed but wow they take a long time to mature.
According to the Seedman;
“Ramsons (Allium ursinum), also known as wild garlic, is a wild relative of chives native to Europe and Asia.”
The dead give away for me (aside from being on a different continent) was seeing the foliage and flowers simultaneously.
Ramps are spring ephemerals. The leaves are only here for a few weeks and the flowers don’t come up until the middle of summer.
Quite a bit of my patch was transplanted from an old dump next to a corporate park. The woods there will most likely be bulldozed soon. I usually don’t pull bulbs but I do there and move them to other spots that are more protected.
March
The thin leaved ones are seedlings in their first year.
April
July
The foliage in the background is Woodland aster and Virginia creeper.

Keep learning about ramps. Didn't know they can be found in the NC mountains.

I would say there’s a high probability of possibly.
“They flower before deciduous trees leaf in the spring, filling the air with their characteristic garlic-like scent.”
I guess that’s why you were smelling them.
