RE: Yahoo! Briefcase: tchessie's file(s)- mystery plant going to bloom

Actually, no- star of bethlehem is a different plant, much smaller, less
attractive and a giant nuisance.  Keep ripping it up!
The bud stalk on this plant (Ornithogalum) is the size of my fist.

Oh, Lord, is that what that "stuff" is?  My yard is literally full of Stars
of Bethlehem.  They never get a chance to bloom, except in isolated
instances
in the flower beds.  They are pretty to look at but murder on a lawn mower.
<
LOL> I always have to mow before they bloom because there are so many other
things growing that get really big really fast -- like chickweed, lespedeza
and vetch.  As I have said before, I don't really have a lawn just a pasture
I try to keep cut.  Sometimes I think I'd be better off with a hay baler.
