Gagea graeca is a slender and hairless perennial plant

that grows in Central and South Greece,

including the Aegean islands and Crete.

It blossoms from March to May

in habitats like stony grasslands, cliffs, waysides

and occasionally in open pine woodland.

The flower heads are funnel-shaped, 10-15mm long,

with 6 white tepals that have purple stripes on the outside.
