Does Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum) usually flower at the

the wrong place :-(
I checked out a local site for Ornithogalum yesterday. The flower buds
are just forming, which puts the start its flowering after that of
bluebells. (Since Bellis perennis flowers all year, I'm not sure what
date to select for comparison with it.)
Thanks. I made a mistake, then. But it's a nice bulb, so I may
get more of it and use it as a successor.
Bellis perennis (at least in cool winter areas) flowers with a burst
at about the same time as bluebells, and then on-and-off all summer.
There are occasionaly earlier flowers, but very few.
