For Christmas. here's a "Star of Bethlehem" flower (Ornithogalum umbellatum).

I first noticed two of these flowers in our yard a few years ago. Each year I keep an eye on that spot to catch them when they bloom, but this year they didn't.

While looking around for plants to photograph, I found more of the flowers growing in two different parts of the yard, with the blue-eyed grass and the spring beauties.

The flowers only last about a week.
