Lilium Candidum Sternbergia Lutea

Lilium candidum, Madonna lily or white lily  is a plant in the true lily family. It is native to the Balkans and Middle East, and naturalized in other parts of Europe. It has been cultivated since antiquity, for at least 3,000 years, and has great symbolic value since then for many cultures.     

It forms bulbs at ground level, and, unlike other lilies, grows a basal rosette of leaves during winter, which die the following summer. A leafy floral stem, which generally grows 1.2 metres (3 ft 11 in) tall, but exceptionally 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) tall, emerges in late spring and bears several sweetly and very fragrant flowers in summer. The flowers are pure white and tinted yellow in their throats. 

Sternbergia lutea, the winter daffodil, autumn daffodil, fall daffodil, lily-of-the-field, or yellow autumn crocus, is a bulbous flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae, in the Narcisseae tribe, which is used as anornamental plant. It has yellow flowers which appear in autumn. 

The Latin specific epithet lutea means "yellow"      

Sternbergia lutea has a wide distribution from the  Balearic Islands in the Western Mediterranean through to Tajikistan  in Central Asia. It dies down to a bulb during the summer. Leaves first appear in the autumn (September to November in its native habitats), and are glossy green, up to 12 mm wide; they remain through the winter. Deep yellow flowers appear soon after the leaves, with six tepals around 3–3.5 mm long, six yellow stamens and a style with a single stigma.
