Hello all, 

I recently got a stock of plants form a nursery closing down, they had a long running relationship with a friend in Italy who would send them bulbs. This is one of those, I assume it's of Mediterranean origin. 

It has both the flower look of an Albuca and an Ornithogalum to me, they are robust plants as you can see from the foliage pictures. Blooming in June in Portland, Oregon. 

Any idea's to help me narrow the search?

Thank you!

Thanks Lee! Yes, it is blooming now in Salem, Oregon.  I'm headed to visit my sister in Dripping Springs, Texas which is not far from Austin in Mid June. I wonder if they will be blooming then and I can compare?

Thanks Arnold, 

That would be Zephyranthes candida?

Hi All, 
Excited to be using the new forum! I got this in an exchange a few years ago, it blooms off and on all summer, seems to be hardy, flowers last a few days at the most, it sets dark black seeds in profusion. I was thinking maybe a Zephyranthes of some sort as I was collecting a lot of those at the time, but it does seem to have thicker, more succulent leaves than a lot of the other species I have?

Would love it if someone recognizes it!

Thank you,
Mark
