Ornithogalum umbellatum (I think...?)

[Andy Perrin]

My best guess is that this is a "nap-at-noon," ornithogalum umbellatum. I would be willing to make this a formal post if the ID can be confirmed?

Looking good Andy

Yes, looks like O. umbellatum, "Star of Bethlehem".

Tell me if there is a lighter coloured line on the leaf ??

And what if anything is on the abaxial petal/tepal surface.

[Andy Perrin]

Andrea, I think this is what you wanted to see? I'm relatively untutored on plant anatomy, but this is the back surface of the petals and what I HOPE are the leaves. It's rather densely planted back in there, so it was a little difficult to tell which leaves belonged to which plant.

The white stripe on the leaf (the narrow ones) and the green stripe on the underside of the petal confirm that this is O. umbellatum. :)

So, Andy, where is that formal post promised 6 years ago?

 

Just kiddin'.....

But should you find some time, why not?

Oh god, I suck at writing things up. This is why I'm tutoring people not doing real science. Real scientists have to really publish, and that always makes me want to go hide under a rock somewhere.

I can relate.  I loved to collect data. I now also like to collect photos.  Haven't done much post-processing. 

Need to kick start myself again.
