From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gagea_lutea).

Gagea is a large genus of spring flowers in the Liliaceae found in Europe and western Asia. It is named after the English naturalist Sir Thomas Gage. They were originally described as species of Ornithogalum, which, together with the usual yellow colour of the flowers, explains the English name Yellow Star-of-Bethlehem for the most common species in Europe, Gagea lutea. This grows in damp deciduous woodland.

The Early Star-of-Bethlehem or Radnor lily, Gagea bohemica, is also a member of this genus.

Cezer, great job. Another simple but great image.

I like a lot. Great blurred bg.

Bonjour Cezar,
J'aime beaucoup ce bouquet de gagées, dans un cadrage qui montre bien son milieu. J'apprécie aussi les détails morphologiques (extrêmité des feuilles), qui permettent de reconnaitre l'espèce dans ce groupe difficile.
