In the summer of 2005 Jane McGary sent me a bulb of Ornithogalum reverchonii. It was such a big bulb that as I potted it up I was confident that it would soon be in bloom. It did not bloom in 2006, and I figured that perhaps it did not like being in a pot. I planted it into the ground of the cold frame. It did not bloom in 2007. Yesterday I took a look, and there is a big inflorescence on the way up! Photos suggest that this is among the most if not the very most elegant of the Ornithogalum - Yippee!
