Saundersiae

🌿 Ornithogalum saundersiae – Giant Chincherinchee

Think of this as the statuesque big sister to the shorter, neater Ornithogalum thyrsoides. Where thyrsoides offers pure‑white blooms in sweet, pyramid-shaped clusters, saundersiae towers overhead — tall, elegant stems crowned with creamy‑white, starry flowers gathered into bold, rounded umbels. Each bloom flashes a tiny black beauty spot at its base, adding intrigue up close.

At over a metre high, it’s made for dramatic back‑of‑border statements and show‑stopping tall arrangements — the kind of flower that turns heads while its little sibling quietly charms in the foreground.
