Has anyone ever seen Frost Mirram and Elves Ear growing in the wild? Or is their natural growth pattern hanging from rafters in little bundles?

Garlic as well, but I'm willing to believe that's imported.

They are right beside the Tomato Vines in every garden

No, I do not remember encountering them in game.

Frost Mirriam, Elves Ear and Garlic are only available as dried bundles.


Note, Garlic is not really dried like herbs are, but it is drier than when it comes from the ground (it is a bulb like onions or tulips) and it is stored in a similar manner by hanging in a cool dark place, like a basemant.

I think these plants grow on all the apple trees that you literally find everywhere in Skyrim.
