Most Ornithogalum species occur naturally in Southern Europe, South Africa and Asia. The name Ornithogalum comes from the Greek ornis or ornithos (bird) and galum (milk). That is why the flower is also known as bird's milk. Although the flower is part of the asparagus family, it's not intended for consumption.
