This is growing all over my yard (Indiana) – I cannot find it on Google or my flower book – does anybody know what this is?


They are everyyyywhere in my backyard ! They’re pretty so I’m not mad but every time I google or look in a book I cannot seem to find it. Multiple flowers on one stem that branches to other stems

    Star of Bethlehem, *Ornithogalum umbellatum*. Non-native.

    My app says Garden Star of Bethlehem
    or Ornithogalum divergens

    There are several in the Ornithogalum group that are similar, but it gives this the highest probability.

    I also just read that SOB is very toxic to people and pets and is very hard to kill with regular weed killer so that explains why it popped up even after we sprayed . Yikes I have sooooo many critters in my backyard I hope they will know not to ingest it

    Is it ground squirrel proof? Asking for a friend

    You’ll never be able to get rid of them completely, they’re an absolute thug of a bulb. You can dig, you can spray, but they will persist.
