Gagea bohemica
Also called Radnor Lily
Early star-of-Bethlehem is a small bulbous geophyte from Europe and the Mediterranean that flowers very early in the year, from January to March or April. It is grown as a hardy spring bulb in cool, free-draining, sunny to lightly shaded spots.
Gagea bohemica, the early star-of-Bethlehem or Radnor lily, is a European and Mediterranean species of flowering plant in the lily family. It is sometimes referred to as the Welsh Star-of-Bethlehem.
Gagea bohemica is widespread across central and southern Europe as well as in northern Africa and the Middle East. Its range stretches from the United Kingdom to Morocco to Lebanon to Ukraine. Within the UK, specimens have been discovered at a single site in the Welsh county of Radnorshire, the only location in the United Kingdom from which it has been reported, and the plant has been adopted as the county flower.
