These four foot beauties are often overlooked by those who grow summer bulbs, but now I believe that of all of the Ornithogalums, O. saundersiae is the finest. This spring, I planted 50 large bulbs in my front alpine garden after looking through my many bulb catalogs for something different to grow. Not rare, nor new, O. saundersiae was promised to give a striking display, according to my Brent and Becky’s bulb catalog.
\n
\n<\/a>My experience with Ornithogalums was limited to the winter-blooming florist varieties, and some miniature weedy forms, but these are fine specimens, and I look forward to growing more since this is the time of year, just as the lilies are fading, when you need something that is just beginning to bloom.
