This bulb came from Rare bulb sales (UK).

Andy Brown says "I have seen this growing in Corfu where it can be practically the dominant plant of dunes near the sea. I wonder if it could be a little invasive given the right circumstances?"

This was drawn to my attention by David Fenwick (A photo flora of the Devon and Cornwall peninsula). A little late in the season really. This has been growing on the shoreline here for over ten years, origin unknown. Fruits shown.
