Biarum davisii

A tiny autumn-flowering Biarum from the lowlands of Crete, known to growers for its small, hooded, cream-to-pinkish spathes produced at ground level before the leaves. It is a summer-dormant Mediterranean geophyte from mild coastal hills. It is a long-standing alpine-house plant that wants a warm dry summer, a bright mild winter and very sharp drainage.
