Ornithogalum

From Greek: ornis (bird) and gala (milk). The genus Ornithogalum consists of a group of bulbous plants that lend themselves to naturalising. The many species, as well as cultivars, are perfectly suitable as cut flowers. They are predominantly native to the temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The bulbs are said to be quite nutritious and tasty, of course after being cooked.
