Identifying Ornithogalum

Hello-

I have an Ornithogalum that I would like to identify.  It's in an awkward
location, so it's going to be a chore to get access to it.  It may well be
O. caudatum.  The bulb is at least the size of a grapefruit, it is flowering
and it has a fruit ripening.  It has stiff, upright leaves.

My questions are:

Are Ornithos self-fertile?
Do they hybridize easily?
Does any Ornitho other than caudatum grow this large?  (Actually, as I type
this, I have another big, unknown plant with flaccid leaves.)
What specifically should I photograph for an ID?  It would be most
convenient if only the flower would be needed for an ID.  :}  

I was just looking at the Wiki, and I forgot that O. caudatum was moved to
Albuca.  

Thanks for the assistance on this.....

Best regards, Lisa
