Muscari comosum

Leopoldia comosa (syn. Muscari comosum) is a perennial bulbous flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. Usually called the tassel hyacinth or tassel grape hyacinth, it is one of a number of species and genera also known as grape hyacinths. It is found in rocky ground and cultivated areas, such as cornfields and vineyards in the Mediterranean region, but has naturalized elsewhere. In southern Italy and Greece, its bulb is a culinary delicacy.
