Few flowers are as slender and elegant as the Ornithogalum. This striking bulbous flower deserves to be put in the spotlight! The botanical name Ornithogalum is said to be composed of ornis or ornithos (bird) and galum (milk). This explains the name Bird's milk.

This flower symbolises purity and innocence and is therefore often used on occasions such as weddings and christening ceremonies. In the vase, the Ornithogalum lasts for a long time.
