Much loved in Greece where designates the first spring evenings, Lilium candidum (popularly known as the Madonna Lily) is a plant in the genus Lilium, one of the true lilies.
It is native to the Balkans and West Asia. It forms bulbs at ground level, and unlike other lilies, has a basal rosette of leaves through the winter, which die back in summer.
