Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum)


Ornithogalum umbellatum
Photographed May 9.

Little white stars that come out in the afternoon; they came over as a garden plant, but they found our climate hospitable and now can be found in lawns and at the edges of parking lots. These flowers were blooming in the Homewood Cemetery.
