Ornithogalum dubium in flower

The blue-green, cylindrical peduncle of the Ornithogalum dubium plant in flower is erect, curving slightly. Dry leaf remains on the ground were green earlier when they built the capacity of the bulb for performing like this in October.

The long-pedicelled flowers cohere in the rounded raceme, as if posing for the photo. Many flowers are open concurrently with only few at the raceme base withering already and a few green buds at the top still to open. An inflorescence usually consists of eight to fifteen flowers.

The soil around the plant is hard and gravelly in renosterveld south of Worcester (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; Bean and Johns, 2005; iNaturalist).
