About

Sternbergia candida is a bulbous flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae, which is used as an ornamental. This rare bulbous plant is native only to south-west Turkey, where it grows at around 1,100 m (3,600 ft) elevation on the edges of cedar woods. First discovered shortly before being formally named in 1979, it features sweet-scented white flowers that appear in spring, distinguishing it from the otherwise yellow-flowered members of its genus.
