Comments

They are another Ornithogalum of funny foliage. Some people say they look like seaweads however, people who know of Ornithogalums may feel they are very similar to O. concordianum.
We too had thought they should be another loose form of the famous species, but we noticed a few significant differences. First of all, they are quite larger than O. concordianum we have grown and the inflorescence is also taller than that species. The flower shape and color are very like O. concordianum yet, sizes of flower, fruit and seed are apparently smaller.
Considering these characteristics we think they are other than O. concordianum, though we have no idea what they should be. Anyway, they are very nice plants and worth growing.

Fig.2 Comparison with O. concordianum

The plant in green pot is a mature O. concordianum nearly 4cm high, which has already made a couple of offsets. You can see how big the unnamed Ornithogalum plants are.

Cultivation notes

Just an ordinary care is fine for the plants. They are rather tough thanks to the large bulbs.
