Introduced Species Cultivated
Native to Mediterranean region. Supposed to provide a good source of pollen and nectar for early spring pollinators. I haven't yet observed any insects visiting these flowers, but I'll keep a lookout for them this spring.
According to the Natura article, the seeds have elaiosomes which help disperse the seeds.
