Description
Few-flowered leek. This batch was originally collected in May 1987 by Janis Ruksans in the Talish mountains of Azerbaijan, growing under a thick layer of moss in the shade of a rocky gorge near a waterfall, at an altitude of 1700 meters. From the tiny bulb that barely has any skin, grows a single curved shiny leaf in March. The inflorescence is composed of ten to fifteen bright white bell-shaped flowers, showing no visible stamens during flowering. The stem is triangular. The seeds secrete an oily substance that attracts ants.
