One of spring's little surprises — star-of-Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum) appearing between the grass. These delicate star-shaped flowers are easy to overlook, but once you spot them, they're hard to miss. 🌟
They're a bulbous plant that naturalises freely in lawns and meadows, opening their flowers only in sunlight and closing them again at dusk. A small but welcome touch of white in the garden.

Eén van de kleine verrassingen van de lente — gewone vogelmelk (Ornithogalum umbellatum) die tussen het gras opduikt. Deze tere, stervormige bloemetjes zijn makkelijk over het hoofd te zien, maar eens je ze ziet, vallen ze meteen op. 🌟
Het is een bolgewas dat zich vlot naturaliseert in gazons en grasveldjes. De bloemen openen zich enkel in zonlicht en sluiten 's avonds weer. Een kleine maar mooie witte toets in de tuin.

We didn't want to eliminate the #wild #garlic completely (because it's part of #nature & is #edible too), simply drastically reduce it's numbers because it is VERY invasive because each stem drops four fertilised #seeds (or #bulbs?) and they grow very readily from them. In my mind there's a simple #beauty to their #flowers too.

Eye catching Tulips left us by Doris, the late owner of our home.
