I got it from my BIL in Turkey. Grew from a bulb.Waiting to hear from BIL on the name.

That is beautiful! I'd also be interested to know what it is.

 

[Collector]

That is a great looking flower.
I am curios about it also!

Beautiful Mattemma! How big is the bloom?

Stunning flower. Probaly will not grow here if it is a native of Turkey.

I have a feeling that we are going to hear that it is a "Persian something-or-other" since so many plants in Europe and North America were called "Persian somethings-or-other" 100 years ago.

Persia is now known as Iran but there are many plants from that corner of the world that are now grown in gardens, like the Persian lilac. Of course, we now know it just as the lilac .

Tulips are from Turkey.

Could it be a Japanese anemone?

What is the foliage like?

I wonder if it might be a large-flowered Ornithogalum of some sort? You could google the genus and see if anything looks right.

It is lovely, let us know when you figure it out!!
