uninvited



my research has shown this is Ornithogalum umbellatum, the so-called Star of Bethlehem. I am very excited, i think it is very pretty, but i don't know how to multiply it. I have a vague recollection i saw it last summer too, in this place, but just one, as it is now. if it is a bulb, it should multiply with time, though...

    ich liebe weisse blumen sehr. wie rein und schön diese sind und so zerbrechlich. ich habe mich immer davor gescheut, blumen zu pflücken. dein blog ist nicht nur wunderschön, sondern auch sehr lehrreich. ich freue mich mit dir. so herrlich, dass dein garten so blüht. er wird dir kraft geben und dich in die zauberhafte geheime welt der natur führen, in die stille, ruhe und schönheit... schöne liebe grüsse in deinen tag, renée

    1. oh, Milchsterne, das ist ja wunderbar! ich kannte den deutschen Namen nicht... die weißen Blumen passen so gut zu deinem kleinen weißen Haus :)
      und ich habe etwas entdeckt, dass sie am Abend, im Dunkeln, so wunderschön leuchten, fast wie Kerzen!

      eine liebe Umarmung!

  2. This grows here! It is a bulb and, if memory serves, it will form bulblets, which you can separate and plant. It should also seed.

    1. ah, i love it when our worlds intersect like this (very rarely though as our parts of the world are so different). if memory serves, as you say, i saw it last year too, in the same spot, but just one spike, like now - shouldn't it have multiplied? i will look out for seeds, but i read they take 4 years to bloom ahaha

  3. are dreptate Renee, sa te vada asa, pasind ca o domnita in noapte cu flori albe in par si intre degete:) si o domnita care stie atatea!!! - da:) poate ca totusi florile albe licaresc cel mai indelung (nu stiu daca are sau nu grad de comparatie)in mintea noastra?...

    1. nu pot sa spun cat ma fascineaza, eu nu eram chiar innebunita dupa flori albe, mi se pareau putin banale, dar acum am vazut ca stralucesc in intuneric, ca licurici, asa ca o sa mai caut :-)

  4. Cred că mama mea avea această floare când eram copil. A chemat o floare pe care ea nu a plantat “un voluntar.” Spui la fel? Ai un volunar frumos :-)

    1. ahhh!!! cel drag mie, ce surpriză!!! de când nu te-am mai auzit în română, mi-era dor!
      un voluntar frumos :)
      zâmbesc!

      nu, nu cred că se spune așa în română, dar s-ar putea zice, da, ca un fel de glumă...
