Chincherinchee - other names: I have some old photgraphs as mentioned of flowers we had grown in Delhi. I had identified one of the flower photographs I had as a Chincherinchee or Star of Bethlehem from flowersofindia.net

(http://flowersofindia.net/risearch/search.php?query=Chincherinchee&stpos=0&stype=AND).

I wanted to know if there is any other common name for it in India? I think I remember the nursery where I bought the bulb had referred to it by some other name...

Garden Flower For ID : Nasik : 05FEB15 : AK-14 : 5 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1)

Came across this old picture of mine taken at a plant nursery in Nasik.

Cultivated, garden plant with White flowers.

Id please.

I beg your pardon, I’m unable to open one of the images due to upload errors in email, but from one image it is sure that this is a member of Asparagaceae (similar aspects for Liliaceae), because number of perianth 06, stamens 06 and most probably a species of Ornithogalum {Ornithogalum thyrsoides Jacq.} may be frequently known as some “Wonder flower or Chinkerinchee”.

Thanks to you and ... for the follow up and id.

I recollect to have seen these in Kodaikanal.
