Greece is home to more than 20 species of Ornithogalum, known as stars of Bethlehem,
but Ornithogalum arabicum (above) is probably the largest and most distinctive.
It reaches the height of 80 cm and from April to May it is topped with a cluster of up to 25 flowers -
5cm wide each.
It flourishes on rocky grounds in countries of northern Africa and southern Europe.
