Dear all,
	I was just thinking ( I know that's dangerous) about 
Ornithogalum. And the few hardy species are of a certain sameness and 
have white flowers.

	At least 3 South African species have brightly orange to 
yellow flowers ( O dubium, O maculatum and O. multifolium).

	The wiki page 
(http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Ornithogalum) 
shows some hybrids . but they seem to be all South African too.

	Are there any hardy hybrid Ornithogalum ythat are any color 
other than same-old-white?

	Anyone hybridizing hardy Ornithogalum ?
