Ornithogalum ponticum survived the gails, those ones were sown in 2013, first year flowering

I love these taller Ornithgalums in the garden, this one was acquired as O. ponticum ´Sochi´.

Flowering now Ornithogalum collinum - or at least that's what we got it as

Two months later another pot of ornithogalum has come into flower - is it also Ornithogalum collinum? ANy suggestions?

The group of Ornithogalum "umbellatum" is quite difficult to identify and the taxonomy is also confused with lots of synonyms and different interpretation of some names in different country ! Flowers are nearly the same in several species and, at least, bulbs need to be digged up to look at bulblets and scales. If you can count chromosomes, it's better  . If you know where they come from, it's also better.

Hi Yvain,
sadly no provenance on the ornithogalum - it came from a plant exchange but I think it's one that has been passed around among friends. This is the best flowering I've had so far

It seems to make big clumps with lots of bulblets. If so, it's probably not collinum but one of the couple divergens/umbellatum. collinum as orthophyllum, kochii, bougreanum and other species/synonym makes no (or very few) bulblet and usually clump slowly with the bulb splitting.
