The other day I woke up to a sudden display of starry white flowers strewn across the front lawn.
Since then, they've opened up in other spots too around the yard and garden. Plants I thought were crocuses that mysteriously failed to bloom have turned into a whole new species! What are they? I wondered. I don't remember seeing them at all last year, and perhaps we mowed at just the wrong time last year and just the right time this? Simply a faulty memory? I don't know.
A bit of research uncovered their name: Ornithogalum umbellatum, also known as Star of Bethlehem.
