Lovely, but I hope that is not a narcissus fly perched on it...

It seems the conditions for Sternbergia are perfect this season.

some more Sternbergias

Sternbergia lutea - originally a collection from Spain (where the species isn't native)
and Sternbergia close to greuteriana which obviously attracted hoverflies a lot
