Narcissus flowered onion

Description

I'm always in search for local creatures to draw or paint and this quest recently brought me to my region's website, where I downloaded for free an interesting guide to threatened species of local flora. (click here [link] if you want to peep).

Page after page I discovered a bunch of beautiful and virtually unknown flowers and plants of North West Italy, among which I stumbled upon the flower above. It is a member of the onion/garlic family and it grows exclusively in the western part of the Italian Alps, Italian side only ;)

Its colours are truly marvellous... here you have some photos:
