Star of Bethlehem -- Ornithogalum umbellatum
Family Liliaceae (Lily family)
This introduced species looks quite similar to wild garlic,
except that it has a white stripe on the leaves. Petals and sepals
have a green stripe on the outside as well. The flowers are produced
in April and May in moist wooded areas and especially around old homesites.
