Picture Meadow Saffron
Classified as Near Threatened on the Vascular plant red data list for Great Britain. But found on the Downs by a regular walker.
An odd plant- flowers in the autumn with no leaves,lies dormant through the winter, then pushes leaves and seed head up in spring before they die off. It is also poisionous.
