Asphodelus albus
White asphodel grows to a height of 50–120 centimetres
This plant is native to the Mediterranean area.
In Ancient Greece, white asphodel was associated with mourning and death. Its presence was held to facilitate the transition of the dead to Elysium, and it is a feature of the Asphodel Meadows
Thanks for your help Craig.
I've been searching images of the different species of this plant and I think it is A.albus but I'm not totally sure.
