Ornithogalum

Ornithogalum, often known as Star of Bethlehem or Wonder Flowers, are beautiful & scented spring flowers that are easy to love and even easier to please.

Not only are the flowers unmistakably beautiful, but they are also perfect as cut flowers and are resilient additions to bouquets and flower arrangements.

Ornithogalum is a genus of perennials mainly native to southern Africa and southern Europe and belonging to the Asparagaceae (asparagus) family.

According to the authorities, the number of species fluctuated widely between 50 and 300[1]. Species typically have linear basal leaves, and a thin stem up to 30 cm tall with white star-shaped flowers often streaked with green.
