Whitish Discharge Instead Of Period

Immortal Ornithogalum longibracteatum


The history of this plant has a troubled performance. A friend of mine gave me the cloves in 1998, I had them take root and soon became the real onions, green and fleshy. One held it, making it flourish, and I gave the others. After several years, due to lack of space, even reluctantly gave her my copy and thought no more. Towards the end of this winter, while fixing the mountain of pots and jars, which always cupboard in the garage, I found a small cloves, incredibly still alive though half withered: I took him home, I leaned in a jar with a little 'ground wet and I almost forgot.

Well, in a short time put the onion roots, swelled and began to tick the first tender leaves. After months and months (certainly more than a year) after the dry, the Ornithogalum has managed to preserve what little energy that allowed him to come back to life once again found itself in the ideal conditions to germinate!
now lives in this jar of clay of 12 cm in diameter (the "onion" will measure 5) and I think that I will always keep with me as an attachment to life that has demonstrated.

In this position (a porch facing north-east) takes a couple of hours of sunshine in the morning, which is enough to make it even flourish. The leaves are fleshy and succulent, can achieve the beauty of 80-100 cm!
The buds reveal the color of the flower ...
The flowers of 1.5 cm in diameter, develop on a long stalk with a fleshy stem; have six white petals with a green central stripe and give off a subtle fragrance, sweet and delicate, almost imperceptible. If they open up half a dozen a day, and just as they fade. Those pollinated produce capsules with three compartments containing the seeds.
To assure a minimum supply of seeds every evening passed the tip of a soft brush from flower to flower, so I assure pollination.
