Ornithogalum

Uit het Grieks: ornis (vogel) en gala (melk). De Nederlandse naam luidt aldus: vogelmelk. Het geslacht Ornithogalum bestaat uit een groep bolgewassen die zich lenen voor verwildering. De vele species, maar ook de cultivars zijn zonder meer geschikt als snijbloem. Ze zijn overwegend afkomstig uit de gematigde streken van Europa, Azië, en Afrika. De bollen zouden tamelijk voedselrijk en smakelijk zijn, uiteraard na te zijn gekookt.
