Dear Friends, A few years ago I was given some bulbs by an elderly friend-now around 95 yo. I thought they might be Roman Hyacinths or similar, but after 2 years of settling they have begun to bloom and are clearly some Ornithogalum. I am too familiar with O. umbellatum to consider this as an ID and I grow O. ponticum which will bloom later. Although this is a late season, what other Ornithogalum would be blooming now - early to mid April. I think the spikes of white flowers (with pale green back-of-petals) will reach over 1 foot, but they are just starting to bloom now. Individual flowers may approach 1 1/2 to 2 in in diameter. I checked the wiki pix for comparison, but nothing seemed real close. And they are hardy in Zone 5. A pleasant surprise, but what is it? Many thanks. Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
