Stars of South Africa

Galtonia candicans, named for Sir Francis Galton, is the Cape Hyacinth. Now apparently called Ornithogalum candicans. Related to asparagus and the 'Star of Bethlehem'.



And more familiar agapanthus, the African Lily with names like Northern Star. They have grown in pots outside here for 20 years.
