On this day in 365 Urban Species: Star-of-Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum)

Well, you all know some stuff about the Asian Ladybug from my post about it last year around this time, but I just learned a whole lot more from txtriffidranch. Go check out this post and find out what Asian ladybugs, pitcher plants, poison dart frogs, and sauvignon blanc have to do with one another!

Wow, I just read the Star-of-Bethlehem post and how it's poisonous.

As kids, my neighborhood friends and I would make "nests" out in a giant field of the stuff and lounge around, as well as make various soups on the stove-top using the onion-y bulbs and eat them. The plant must not be that poisonous since we're all alive.

Now I have to call some people and tell them...
