I consider Pancratium maritimum one of the most attractive plants in the Mediterranean countries.
Its large, pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers are of striking beauty and appear from July onwards.
Its leaves, contrary to most flowers, are green in winter but they get dry when the flowers appear.

It grows from a bulb which is buried deep into the sand:
a fact that allows the plant to withstand the heat in the hottest months of the year.

We rarely see single plants emerging from the sand.
Instead, we see it come out in clusters.

All photographs were taken at Legrena on various summer dates over the last 3-4 years.
