Title: Asphodelus acaulis
Post by: BULBISSIME on March 20, 2009, 05:24:56 PM

Not really a bulb !
From Morroco and Algeria mountains, in my bulb frame to protect it from summer rains.

Wow!  What a glorious flower, and such a clear pic too!!  So much detail in a small picture  Great stuff!!  :)

Unlike Fermi, I've never heard of it before.... but I can understand why it is on Fermi's want list.  :o
