How to identify Drimia media (Drimia media)
Drimia media exhibits a fascinating morphology with its dense clusters of nearly spherical, 2-inch-wide (5 cm) bulbs, each enclosed in distinctive chestnut-red scales. The foliage is characterized by erect, semi-circular, narrow leaves that extend 1 to 1.5 feet (30 to 45 cm) in length, presenting a stiff appearance while being surprisingly flexible to the touch. In the summer season, drimia media further captivates with racemes of greenish-white flowers tinged with purple, reaching a height of approximately 2 feet (60 cm). Despite the flowers' understated beauty, they contribute an additional layer of visual intrigue to the plant's overall aesthetic.
