If you look at the stamens you can see that in Vagaria there is the
pancratoid
element: a pseudocorona done with the basal part of the stamens. Vagaria olivieri is from Marocco. It si winter growing with very little water; absolutely no water in summer.

Here is vagaria olivieri in the wild, in Morocco, near the ocean.
It was flowering 1 week ago, and you can see on the same plant : flowers, green seed pod and mature seeds !
It blooms very close to the ground... and to the scorpions

Interesting genus that I've never heard of before. Cute little thing by the look of it. Winter water, dry summer, small flower and unusual...... sounds like half my garden.
