I posted this in: February 2016 in the Northern Hemisphere but as Yann has started a more relevant thread, I'll replicate it here. ;)

Some winter sunshine at last, encouraging plants to stir.
Ornithogalum lanceolatum

I went in Alsace, France last week. Amid the vines piedsdes I spotted Ornithogalum wild population. Does anyone know what kind it might be?

Natural colour variation in a population of O. dubium at my front gate - the extremely fine seeds tend to get around a bit!  ::)

Ornithogalum nutans.  Not enough background contrast with the Pulmonaria?

  What about a bit of the "black" Anthyriscus 'Ravenswing ' in there?

That's an idea, but I'm not very good at deadheading thugs and already have too many self sowers gone berserk - Tulipa sprengeri, Lilium martagon, Aquilegia.

Roma, your Tulipa sprengeri and Lilium martagon are the sort of "bother" that many would kill for!  ;D

Ornithogalum Candicans is in full flower now.  I used to place their pots near a wall in previous years, but for some reason I did not this year and the result is much better  Rather than growing away from the wall now the flower stalks are nicely erected and sturdier.
