I look forward to seeing these beautiful Star of Bethlehem wildflowers when they bloom in May. I usually see them on the sides of the road in little clumps. Have you seen them this year? What a gorgeous wildflower!

“Leonardo da Vinci drew O. umbellatum and included the plant in one of his depictions of Leda and the Swan (1508–1515), in which the flowers are held in Leda’s left hand.[41][42] In folklore, the biblical star of Bethlehem is said to have fallen to the earth and shattered into pieces which became the ubiquitous white flower.”
Beautiful.
