I live in Sunset Zone 14, bordering on 17, and I bought this unidentified
plant (Ornithogalum dubium) from a local nursery three years ago. It
survived the mild winter of 1997-98 outside unprotected in pots and in the
ground, but it did not survive the severe winter of 1998-99 (Christmas
freeze). Perhaps I should have moved it indoors.
