Also known as Ornithogalum and Star of Bethlehem. The Greeks used the term "bird's milk" ornithos (bird) & gala (milk) to describe something incredible. The South Africans know them as "tjenkenrientjee" which is where the odd English name chincherinchee comes from. Flowers are bell & star-shaped,showy & sometimes very fragrant.They bloom individually in circles at the top of leafless stems.

Realised that there's also a version that has webcam capabilities...
Isn't it cute?
