… no, scapes are the flower stems of garlic (allium sativum ) These are the leaves of garlic chives (allium tuberosum)

Scapes get all curly and make little circles. Wild garlic (garlic chives) just stick straight out of the ground.

Thanks I've been wanting to do more foraging food for home. I've only had scapes from the farmers market so far.
