    Ditto! And another new plant to me, I thought Star of Bethlehem only came in white. I’m guessing you lift and over-winter?

    I keep it in a pot. In the Winter I keep it in the greenhouse and stop watering it. The white varieties are pretty but I love this orange one.

    Oh wow, what a beautiful colour. Like Sarah I had not realised there was an orange version. I like this much more.

    Beautiful plant. Is this an annual or perennial? I’m a sucker for orange flowers.

    I have an orange Ornithogalium, although the seller at the succulent show I bought it from had it labeled as Albuca fimbrimarginata. I was surprised when it bloomed with orange flowers instead of white ones. The color was somewhat lighter than yours. Unfortunately, I never got around to taking a photo when it was in bloom.

      I know there are about 100 species of Albuca but I have never seen one that looks like this. Although I believe Albuca are closely related to Ornithagalum. I have 3 different Albuca and they all have bell like flowers. Quite unlike these.

    It’s a real beauty – I love that shade of orange…and, perfectly, it looks like it doesn’t take up too much space!

    Gorgeous blooms! Do you know if they are good cut flowers? They would be so beautiful paired with Liatris and Salvias and many others. 🙂
