Jude, To best identify a plant, you need good FLOWERS, leaf, and habit photos - the more the better. It's very useful to include a ruler for scale. I think most people have seen your photo. Based on my experiences in the past, you need to wait 4-5 days before everyone can respond so patience is good. If no one responds, that means no one knows the plant being questioned. Our wiki is a nice and up to date resource. To tell Ornithogalum and Albuca apart, I would like to refer you to the introduction of the Albuca page ( http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…). We try to keep up with the ever-changing taxonomy of this group and have decided to adapt the Manning et al. 2009 classification until something more stable is available.
