ORIGIN
Most Ornithogalum species are native to southern Europe, South Africa and Asia. The name Ornithogalum comes from the Greek ornis or ornithos (bird) and galum (milk). This is why you also come across the flower under the name bird milk. But where this Greek name comes from? Whoever knows may say. The flower is part of the asparagus family, but bird's milk is not meant for consumption.
