Sternbergia lutea

IMG_1251 [Sternbergia lutea]

A low to short, 40-50mm long flower that looks like a crocus.
 
It grows from August to October on rocky and grassy slopes, and
generally, on hills and low mountains in the Mediterranean region.
 
The picture above was taken at the foot of the Acropolis in October 2022.
