The Ornithogalum arabicum, also known as the Star of Bethlehem, is a native plant of the Mediterranean. It is commonly referred to as the Arabian star flower and produces large, fragrant, and white flowers (up to 2 inches in diameter) on scapes that can reach 18-24 inches tall. These flowers have star-shaped white petals (tepals) with yellow anthers and a central black bead-like ovary. The plant also has dark green grass-like foliage. Another variety of this plant, known as Ornithogalum umbellatum, is commonly called the Star of Bethlehem and blooms during winter.
