Tulipa saxatilis
Tulips occur widely in the eastern Mediterranean region, and Tulipa saxatilis is a species native to Crete. It is summer-dormant, but makes a big show with its pink-and-yellow flowers in spring. Tulips are part of the Lily Family.

Lilium philadelphicum (Wood lily)
From GoBotany:
Wood lily is North America's most wide ranging true lily, but it has been declining in the northeast as prairie habitat has disappeared, and as populations of white-tailed deer, that favor it as food, have increased. In New England it is pollinated by tiger swallowtail butterflies

Calochortus venustus
California has many species of Calochortus, commonly called Mariposa Lilies. These delightful bulbs do indeed belong to the Lily Family, unlike many other plants called “lilies” (such as Lily of the Nile or the Cala Lily). One of the most variable and beautiful species is Calochortus venustus, found in the mountains north of Los Angeles, and northward on both sides of the Central Valley. Our flowering plant is an unusual red form of the species, with the flowers turning more purplish as they age.

Chemical substances such as allyl sulfide and their effects (chemistry-7)
nasturtium
Many plants with a unique smell have S (sulfur) content. Liliaceae (leek, green onion, garlic), cruciferous (spicy radish, wasabi, watercress), nasturtium (nasturtium), etc. Nasturtium has a Japanese name, Kinrenka, and a flavor similar to wasabi. It is said to be native to Paraguay or Peru. In addition, what is usually sold as wasabi is "horseradish = lechor = horseradish" native to Europe. Like wasabi, it belongs to the cruciferous family, but because it grows quickly, it can be used as a substitute for wasabi.
"I admire the wisdom of our predecessors who have used these plants."
Once upon a time there was a good chemist. Former Osaka University Professor Ryutaro Tsuchida.
"The Sulfur Annihilation Theory" is impressive. In the case of fertilizer called ammonium sulfate, ammonia is an effective fertilizer, but sulfuric acid, which is applied at the same time, is poisonous to plants. If a lot of lime is added to neutralize it, calcium sulfate is formed, which is called gypsum, and hardens and damages the soil. Certainly, there was gypsum tinkering during art class for middle and high school students.
At this time, he argued that if he planted crops such as green onions and onions that contained allyl sulfide and required S (sulfur) as an essential element for growth, he would be able to achieve both a harvest and the removal of S at the same time. Apparently, it was very effective.
