Below Snowdon peak. 670m altitude.
I have long wanted to see this for myself and success at last - not a perfect day and the flower wasn't going to open any more but a lovely plant of this species showing all the major features.
This is another plant that has changed name recently - it is now a "Star-of-Bethlehem".
For a picture of this flower fully open do go to Snowdon Lily on UK Wild Flowers site |
