It’s Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum), a pretty but invasive bulb. The foliage looks like that of crocus. I have to dig out clumps every year to keep it from taking over the garden.
I can’t get rid of them! My mother planted a few bulbs years ago and you can’t get rid of them. I dig and dig and if there is the tiniest of a piece of the bulb left in the ground you’ll have a clump in no time. Pretty yes but horribly invasive. They’ll never leave you! ha ha.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!
Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Mother Earth just trying to reclaim what’s hers.
So prettty! What kind of flowers are these .. anyone?

Thanks Mom! I guess it looks so pretty so you will smile at the flowers even though you want to see the end of it.
