Cynthia,
Don't count your chickens unless you've had it for a while. O. umbellatum is a pest here just north of Dallas and one of my worst gardening mistakes. My advice is: "Just Say No!" At least the crow poison, Nothoscordum bivalve, is a native.

Isn’t it amazing, though, how “bad” bulbs in one area can’t really thrive in others. Here in Central Texas this small clump hasn’t been able to multiply much at all and doesn’t set seed. Spends most of its life dormant. I think I will pull them up, on general principles. We already have a terribly invasive relative, nicknamed ‘crow poison’, that has rice-like bulbs and sets copious seed. That is enough of a gift from nature for my garden! Thanks to all who responded.
