Ornithogalum umbellatum, commonly known as 'Star of Bethlehem', is a bulbous perennial . Narrow, semi-erect, grass-like, linear leaves grow in a basal clump to 6-12" tall. Leaves begin to droop and fade as the flower stems (6-8") rise in late spring to early summer, each stem bearing 10-20 starry white flowers (each to 3/4" wide) in an open, umbel-like, terminal cluster. Flowers are striped green on the outside. Flowers open near noon and close at sunset or in cloudy weather.
Ornithogalum Umbellatum, known as the Star of Bethlehem, produces clusters of white, star-shaped flowers. It blooms from February to April in plains and from March to May in hill regions. Plant bulbs between October and November in both plains and hills.
It prefers a sunny postion in a well mulched, well drained soil. They can also be grown in position that gets light, dappled shade. Fertilise with a liquid fertiliser through the growing season. After flowering, the foliage should be left until the plant dies down, as this feeds the next years growth. The plant will die down to ground level in late autumn to winter, and reshoot in spring. They can be left in the ground over winter.

Beautiful lithops I received! Fully intact. Just waiting for them to grow mature and the bloom😊
I really loved the giant Taro, I really hope it grows. The quality and size was excellent. And also the packaging was best and most awesomely sturdy. Loved it.
The plant and the pots received were excellent. The packaging was really superb.
