Ornithogalum juncifolia flower

Ornithogalum juncifolia bulb
These bulbs were found in flower some 15 km north of Oudtshoorn. The bulb on the photograph protruding above the ground is atypical as most were just below the soil . The dried leaves resemble Ornithogalum graminifolium . The main flowering stalk is shorter however, the flowers different, and the flowers are borne on the upper half of the main flower stalk while in the case of  Ornithogalum graminifolium they appear towards the top. The flowering time is also later - middle January .
