Although I silently noted the offer of 'Lucifer' as something to
look forward to, I have recently been digging out clumps of
Ornithogalum umbellatum from my lawn. ............ Should I send
them to Dell? Is there really anyone out there who's hankering for
O. umbellatum? A single yes, and I'll send them in (unsmooshed) for
distribution.
Dear Jon,
Good Q. Here on my acre this is not a weed, but it did
appear a few years ago probably brought in with something else. I
grow a couple other O species and these are also NOT weeds.
That said... when I lived in mid-town KC it was a weed. I
suppose there are places where it is not a weed and it certainly can
be a nice clump.
Before going under the tires, ask Dell. I sort of think it
should be offered with ample qualifications, warns, red flashing
lights etc.
The w. coasters complain about Alliu triquetum (sp?) and I
can't grow it here. Quite nice, but no one donates it.
Time to drag Adeniums in as the temps drop into the 40s. Stay
well. Best Jim W.
