However, this followed me home from Home Despot:
Ornithogalum 'Sun Star', probably O. dubium, family Hyacinthaceae as if you couldn't tell.
It's a bulb so must be treated as such. I often lose patience with indoor bulbs after the first die-back but I couldn't pass this one up!
HD also had the most gorgeous anemones but it's TOO EARLY so stop tempting me!! Even HD knows it's too early, had them on carts indoors. Hopefully they'll still be around in a month.

That's why one anemone plant jumped right into my cart when I was at Home Depot. I know when it's the right time to plant it there won't be any just like last year ;(
But that orange color on the bulb is just nice and bright!
Lovely color.... cant wait to plant more!! ~ bangchik
Well I can see why...great looking! gail
Hi Bintie, I saw that same plant at the grocer's and looked at it very carefully. Since many of the ornithogalum's are hardy here in TN I was excited. Reading on down the tag, it said zones 9-10. It would have to be kept inside during the winter so I didn't buy it. But man, it was a beauty! I wanted an Easter lily too, but missed the window of opportunity with that one. They are all gone now.
