Hi Medit-listers,

here in Calabria (south Italy) P. maritimum can be found in 
sandy beaches near  the last coastal dunes (very few 
places).

I've collected and sowed some seeds in container and 
though they've germinated and produced bulbs, I've never 
seen their flowers(after 4 years).

Bye

Paolo
