This beautiful white flower grows on the near-by beach, a dune plant...Again, any help to identify it will be greatly appreciated! It looks like some sort of a Daylily, I found a list of salt tolerant flowers here.

Update: Thanks to Amoeba, via quilly, who kindly pointed out this is a Pancratium maritimum, the Sea Daffodil.Amoeba also shared a link to these plants growing wild on Crete.
Hiya Mar,
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is: I want some!
Lovely little lily-type thing. Let me know if somebody manages to identify it from your clear picture.
Beautiful pictures of the white flower! Sorry but I don´t know the name.
ReplyDeleteI really have no idea what it is, but I love how crisp and clear your photo is!
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty Mar! Love how you captured the sunlight.
ReplyDeleteMy Macro is Nautical And I also added a bit about a new meme I'm inviting everyone; if you'd like to join in on the challenge. Come over and find out what day on which it will take place....join me? [I know you already know about it with your comment you left over the weekend]
Hope your Monday is treating you well.
That is beautiful! I wouldn't expect to find anything so delicate near the beach. I hope someone can identify it for you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I must see what plant form I can find next time I am on the beach with Freida! Dxx
ReplyDeleteNo idea what it is, but wow, what a gorgeous bloom!
ReplyDeleteEven if you know the name, it doesn't change the beauty of the flower.
ReplyDeleteCall it Mrs. Jones.
That grows on the beach? In the sand? I had no idea! It really IS very pretty
ReplyDeleteA beach beauty indeed.
ReplyDeleteA beauty!
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is it is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers - they are some type of bulb, but not sure what kind.
ReplyDeleteThey look like a cross between an Iris and a Lily. I have no clue what they are and Amoeba is at work!
ReplyDeleteActually, I thought they looked like one of the wild daffodils, native to Europe, from which cultivated daffodils were bred. So I looked, and presto. Pancratium maritimum, the Sea Daffodil.
ReplyDeleteWikipedia.
Nice photos of plants growing wild on Crete.
(It's not really a daffodil; it's more closely related to the ornamental amaryllis.)
Lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures. Beautiful flowers. Well done! Cathy
ReplyDeleteA sea daffodil - new to me and it's lovely and captured beautifully by you!
ReplyDeleteNew to your blog. Love your tagline. Home IS where the coffee is.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and glad to know about the plant. Will have to look it up.
Gorgeous! I had no idea what is was but love the way the frillies seem to come from the petals. Pretty!
