Mystery Bulbs / [Solved: Allium neapolitanum]Unknown
March 09, 2024, 07:56:30 AM
I have recently discovered two small plants (~8" tall) blooming in my front yard wildflower bed which I cannot identify and do not remember planting. The bed has been established for roughly 25 years and is never disturbed except for weeding and trimming. The first photo shows the single leaf. which has asymmetrical veining.  My guess is Ornithogalum but I haven't seen a perfect match in the WIKI file.

I was a member of IBS and tried growing some Ornithogalum seeds years ago — O. longibracteatum and O. juncifolium. I did not record having any success with them.

North Florida  — mild winter, normal rainfall, last freeze was in early January.
