Cretan flowers
I think your plant is probably the Sea Squill -
Urginea maritima. It grows all over the mediterranean region, has its leaves in the rainy season - winter/spring. There are pictures on the web ie: http://www.tau.ac.il/~ibs/album/urginea.m.html http://www.dipbot.unict.it/orto/0830-1.html Charles Drown In article , "Michael Berridge" wrote: Just back from a couple of weeks in Crete, sunny, hot, a bit different to recent days in the UK. While I was there I decided to buy a book on Cretan flowers, and I now know that the palm trees I'm growing from seed are the Cretan palm, and the plant that I thought was a small leaved holly, is, in fact a type of oak Quercus kermode AFAIK. I brought some seed back this year as well, from a tall foxtail lilly type plant which had no leaves just the flower stalk. on closer inspection it comes from a large bulb and some were just starting to throw up leaves, but, I can't find it in my book, anyone know what it might be? it does grow wild.

Hello,
the bulb you found is known as Scilla maritima and also as Urginia maritima. Renée |
