A beautiful specimen collected by Arnis Seisums on Mount Hustup in the Zangezur Mountains in Armenia, where this striking Ornithogalum was flowering amongst the melting snow at an altitude of 3,000 metres. The inflorescence, consisting of star-shaped white-green flowers, emerges almost stemless from the narrow-leaved, dark-green leaf rosettes. Ideal for the rock garden.
