Spring Star Flowers?

Ok, the croci, are actually not croci as I suspected. They look like this:

Is this a “Spring Star Flower” as Google suggests, or something else? Mom?

Hi there, Kid,

The plant you picture here is: Ornithogalum umbellatum. Check out this link from Scheepers bulb catalog: http://www.johnscheepers.com/catview.cgi?_fn=Item&_recordnum=3776&_category=Best:Ornithogalum

I have them all over my beds. They completely disappear when it gets warm.

Thanks Mom-as-plant-advisor,

I now have some too! They also close up at night, which is cool.

We like to call them Stars of Beverly around here though
🙂

  I wonder where you got those from? 😉 They do close at night. I was wondering if I was imagining it.
