Hello Roland and Dietrich, Indeed it is close to O narbonense (ofwhich I got quite a stock here) but: 1- this plant is much higher 60cm-70cm 2. the leaves are pale green ( O narbonense more greyish) 3. Flowers ere creamy yellow (not white) petals are narrower and slightly longer than O narbonense 4 seed capsules are exactly like O narbonense 4 flowering part of the spike is 20-30cm long 5 flower bracts too late to verify It could be O.pyranaicum, but I cannot find much information on that species Greetings from south of France (Arles between Marseille and Montpellier) Lauw de Jager http://www.bulbargence.com/ 5 -----Original Message----- that is most likely Ornithogalum narbonense L. In Ornithogalum narbonense L. the bracts should be twice as long as the flower buds. Unfortunately I cannot check this character on the photo. The other Ornithogalum with a similar habit indigenous to southern France is O. pyrenaicum with greenish (not pure white flowers inside).
