| | | Two more non-natives
Here are two more photo's from Italy that a friend asked for help identifying, the first (I think) is St. Bernard's Lily. The second reminds me of Common Stork's-bill but the leaves are different .....I keep thinking I should know it, but don't!  Help appreciated
1. St Bernard's Lily, Anthericum liliago? 
2. ??  |

Hi Jenny,
1 looks right
2 may be shining cranesbill - Geranium Lucidum.
Both are guesses from my Polunin and Huxley book though! 
Cheers
Ken

Hi Jenny
Why do you think that no 1 is anything other than Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum), it seems perfect to me with the flat inflorescence. Also it has green on the outer side of the tepals. A.liliago has more of a spike and no green.
All the best

All the best | Looks like Ornithogalum to me too.
2nd plant may be Erodium malacoides |
