Star of Bethlehem

Keep an eye on the Ornithogalum ("Star of Bethlehem") that's sprouting along both sides of Street Road near New Bolton Center. Right now just the deep-green, grasslike leaves are showing (one slang name is "rubber grass"), but soon the pretty white flowers will be in bloom. I enjoy seeing how this perennial reappears along the road each spring in larger and larger, more widespread patches.
