Dear Linda, I've bought Ornithogalums without names in a garden center one year. The Ornithogalum thyrsoides pictured on the wiki is one of the plants I purchased as a white Ornithogalum (I can't remember what weird name they used) when I also purchased a yellow and orange which I think were Ornithogalum dubium cultivars. The white one which never bloomed again after that first year so was an annual for me looks like that species anyway and it is one more commonly grown. I suspect that is what you have. However as I noted when I reported on my trip to South Africa, the white Ornithogalums are not easy to distinguish. O. conicum is very similar except it never has a dark center. I'm very slowly adding pictures to the wiki of plants we saw in South Africa, but I haven't tackled the white Ornithogalums yet. I haven't finished adding all the wonderful things we saw in Middelpos yet so have been working on that. But you might check the wiki page to look at my pictures to see if this is what you have. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Another clue that makes me think it could be this species is that I talked with some exporters of South African ornithogalums on my trip and O. dubium and O. thyrsoides were the two names mentioned the most.
