Drimia platyphylla

Its name comes from the Greek and literally means "sour, bitter", referring to the taste of its bulb, as in the past it was widely cultivated for its medicinal virtues. Studies are still underway to demonstrate how this succulent can be used, currently, for the insecticidal effects of some toxic substances contained in its roots. The leaves of D. platyphylla are oval, green and covered by a very short and transparent hair. Its white flowers have delicate petals that add an additional touch of delicacy to the plant.
